Hello Paul,
It would seem to me that the real challenge here would be the database
design.
I would think that you would need to set up 'groups' dependent on
location, office and department with their own permissions and then
set up individual permissions within the groups as necessary. Oracle
8i or Sybase SQL Anywhere should help with this. (Don't know much
about any others 'cept Access which is below this task.)
That is a massive application to develop (compared to my working
things out for 30 people in one location). But I think you can do it.
Identifying the need is half the battle, now all you have to do is
figure out how to meet it. Take your time going through the
flowcharting and database design. Review it with as many other
developers and your 'supervisors' as will stand to look at it and
comment on it. With something this big you can't really spend enough
time on planning it.
Of course, take this for the worth of its source; a one-year in the
industry, fresh-out-of-college idealist. That's me!
Go for it brother!
Yours In Conservation,

thank you Guy & Phillip.
time really isn't the main problem here.
i can whip out most of the separate parts & pieces they want.
what is the problem for me is the structure as a whole.
how to integrate 2 separate coasts & 8 offices.
i have only had to worry about the 3 offices in the east coast so far.
so i need to figure out a way to rough out the logic of the site?
<cfinclude psychobabble = here>
there is a strong push from above to have 1 firm, that collaborates.
makes sense, so now i need to figure out how to integrate 2
intranets/extranets into 1 nice neat little package that will please
every
one.........lol............
people & fun stuff, but also the business side of it.
it is just seeming a little daunting at the moment.
i can nock out tasks, and such, but i need to learn what & why the
larger
process is.???
</cfinclude>
sorry about the OT spout
thanks for your suggestions.

I just finished making a smaller, less powerful version of what Philip
Arnold has.
Permissions are based on user ID, like his.
It allows for moderate content management by non-techs.
I coded it all by my lonesome in CF/Access in less than a week.
Therefore, I don't think you really need a boxed solution unless time
is an issue.
