Re: Note passing system?
Sounds like you want a project management tool. We have an internal system here we use to parse out work. Basically the client/project manager submits an item to a form and it appears on the necessary persons desktop based on who they select. They see the item, do the work, mark their time, and reply via the form. It's a great project management tool and it keeps track of correspondence. Building a system like your describing isn't too difficult, it's just time consuming. We have looked into outside utilities to do this, but we've found them lacking. As a development shop we have found that when we need some additional functionality we build it on. The current system we have now has grown out of several developers efforts in the past two years to incompass project managment, billing, contacts, work requests, logging, and a host of other things. A third party too may save you time in the short run, but in the long run, it'll probably lacks the additional functionality you want. I recommend buiding your own system, keeping in mind you want to be able to add additionally functionality in the future. - Paul - Original Message - From: "Rey Bango" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 1:07 PM Subject: Note passing system? > Anyone know of a good CF-based note/messaging system?

RE: Note passing system?
As a side note - if you have an idea for your application - do it! Do not expect someone else to have already written the code for you. CF makes coding easy. If you are worried about the code have trusted people try and break it. Spend at least 3 weeks with beta testers on trusted code. You would be amazed at how the feedback either picks up problems or points out, even unobtrusively, better ways to accomplish a task. -Original Message- From: Peter Tilbrook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 17 April 2001 15:33 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Note passing system?

Re: Note passing system?
As strange as this may sound in light of normal developmental thought processes... I like to re-invent the wheel... each time I do, I get a better, more efficient, and sometimes a much better looking wheel... of course I don't do this all the time, and I may use a function or two that somebody else wrote, but I've always written my own applications. It's why I'm a developer... I love developing... At 02:37 AM 4/17/01 -0400, you wrote: >:o) > >Hi Peter. I certainly understand where you're coming from.

Re: Note passing system?
More power to ya, Joe. I love developing as well but anything that allows me to deploy a system quicker and spend more time with my family is worth the investment. Personally, if I had to choose between re-coding or watching a DVD with my wife & kids, I'll go for the latter. ;o) Rey Bango Certified Allaire Instructor Member of Team Allaire "A browser's beauty, at its heart, is its usefulness as a *TOOL*." - Original Message - From: "Joe Sheble aka Wizaerd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 9:42 AM Subject: Re: Note passing system? > As strange as this may sound in light of normal developmental thought > processes...

Hi: I guess Hal Helms has a tutorial on something like you need. Basically its a tutorial on fusebox applications. Its called "Action Items Manager" have a look at it at: www.halhelms.com or download from http://www.halhelms.com/actionItems.zip not sure if this is what you need.
