>I have a little project. The user will use a VFP interface to select procurement items from a list. The VFP app will then package the items with formulas in an Excel sheet and email them to Vendors. The vendors will enter unit prices and return (send back) the completed Excel spread sheet to the [procurement] user's mailbox.

One thought was to include a macro that would rename the master (recieved) and save it once the vendor recieves it, and then delete the "master". I don't like mailing documents with macros!
