Maybe you can help me with this Erika - I need a better system for storing everyone's documents online in a place that everyone can upload to themselves…so they don't have to wait for me to do the web site work - I love that kind of work, so it is no problem and I am happy to do it, exceptpt that I am so slow these days -
