I don't print any thing anymore, I add it to our intranet
 
Get a copy of FrontPage and build one for your office.
 
We have all our DBA procedures along with all the sales info, product catalogs,  forms, spreadsheets, product documentation,  and lots more   all organized on tidy web pages.
 
I ran searches for *.xls *.doc and other extensions. All the stuff that we have created over the years and from the search list I just organized the stuff and now we can find the things we only use once in a while. Even found some useful stuff that I didn’t know was there.
 
I set everyones home page on the browser to open the intranet when they start up internet explorer keeps everyone on the same page w/o the paper.

Sounds Great How Much ?

We only have like 3-4 users  If I had 10-20 it would be a good idea and reasonable $$ to keep track of things.
 
so for now I stick with my old manual web site

I find that very interesting.
 
When business expands I will be looking into some kind of system like that.
 
The document management aspect is great for paranoid people like me.

We do the same thing, but not as extensively as yours. Mostly it's just our office procedures, which obviously are heavily DBA related.

Well, I have seen a number of software products that enable you to create something like this, and there is Lotus Notes (VERY expensive) and other similar packaged solutions, but none that I have been able to find that provide the breadth and scope of this product in an ASP format where you are not shelling out BIG bucks.
 
Also, there is a new capability coming for this suite that I was just informed of. Here is an excerpt fro the email from the product development director:
 
We should be able to do all that using our own DB module that is coming in 2-3 weeks.  It has a complete workflow integration into it that allows capabilities such as:
 
1.  Depending on value of a column; send emails,modify value of another column, add a value in another table, ... etc
 
2.  Ability to do Arithmatic functions
 
3.  Ability to show views based on user's privillages
 
4.  Ability to have any logic function
 
5.  Ability to flag a "value" if certain action happens, etc
 
6.  many more capabilities
 
This is to be able to allow integration for more Portal functionality such as having customers and/or vendors be able to view and even interact with data from an ERP or CRM system.

Yes, Sharepoint can do a lot of this if you want to pay for it, then pay for development, then pay for the server to run it, then pay for IIS server, then pay for a firewall server, then pay for someone to administer it all.
 
But I would have to ask then....if your company can afford THAT kind of bill, why are you using DBA?
