We are using Outlook 2003 on Exchange 5.5. I have a user that wants to be
able to send to a list of people. She want the message to go to the list in
a specific order with each person being able to add a comment as they go and
then the message automatically continues on to the next person in the list.

I have never heard of anything like this but I said I would look into it.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

You can do this when you create the document in Word. Use the File-> Send
To-> Routing Recipient

Keep in mind that the routing feature is removed in Office 2007.

Presumably (per Microsoft) people using Office 2007 are also using SharePoint so routing is completely unnecessary.

We do use SharePoint. However, with the routing feature in Office 2003 no
one else could view the document being routed except for the routing
recipients. This is what we need. Also, any employee is able to easily
route a document without any involvement from IT.

If we use a SharePoint document library with workflow, we need to give
everyone contribute rights so they can create the document to route. Also,
we don’t know ahead of time who will need to be an approver so everyone needs
at least aprrove rights, correct? The problem is that we want employees to
only see their own documents/tasks and documents that they are asked to
approve. I realize that the requestor can set the permissions on their
individual document but that isn’t practical for the volume of routing we do
and to keep it simple for the end user.

Am I missing something? It looks like our only option is build something
custom to handle this.
