I'm just trying to figure this out on the fly...so any
errors are my own.
I'm aware of the XP limitation. The teams will run 5-10
people, but I would expect the usage to be fairly
light...just a place to check in and get the latest
occasionally.
I am only talking about the "Discussions" feature built
into office that can be referenced to a document, not a
stand alone message/newsgroup type board. My
understanding is that the extensions are needed to make
that feature (along with subscriptions) available. That
would allow interaction using the Discussions toolbar in
Internet Explorer. My problem right now is that I don't
know how to configure it to work and I'm having trouble
finding documentation.
I built the pages in Excel and used the "save as web page"
option on the File menu...worked fine. I don't have a
license for FrontPage at this time. -Todd
