Like George, we also bypassed the VAN in favor of direct ftp transfers
with our trading partners around 10 years ago.  We're using flat,
delimited files loosely defined to match the traditional EDI document
specs - 850, 810, and 997 in our case.  We've also run into the issue of
having to tweak things for each individual partner, but have found that
things eventually run smoothly once we've been in production for a
while.  Fortunately for us, we only have a handful of large customers
and vendors so we're not constantly adding new partners into the mix.

EDI brings up a whole can of worms for me in the new year.
We currently use softshare as our van, I would really like to do EDI in
house or find something more affordable.
Does anyone have any suggestions.

Thank You
