Seems that e-mail and sometimes using company databases are seen as Software that every body know's and that "The firm" should not waste money on training or even a manual when starting with. In my case it was Lotus Notes. Just sending and receiving is not a big deal. But if you would like to know more about all it features and go deeper into how you can setup things (for a user), they mumble something about, "there should be a 10 minute guide book somewhere around here". In some companies it's not just the e-mail program that is handed to you this way, in some cases it's the ERP software ;-) with some minor comments on what buttons you should push. -- Cheers, Edgar Communicating with TB! v2.02 CE, Windows 2000 5.0.2195 If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously.
