Sprinting To The 7.3 Finish Line

Funny things happen when you present your work to others. Brain cells fire about what you wish you had done in addition to what you did actually accomplish. I had just finished talking about the web last keys enhancements and was getting ready to talk about web feeds when some severely neglected axons and dendrites conspired to revolt, or in this case maybe just volt, and then it occurred to me...

So, what if you put up the Manage 2000 7.3 site as an externally facing portal. And what if the portals supported attachments. Customers could attach documents to sales orders, or vendors could attach documents to purchase orders and internal users could interact with the attachments from the internal portals, or in fact from PWS functions.

I was not thinking I could sneak this in before Beta, but as of Wed. morning I have been merrily attaching objects via portals on our development box. And more importantly (as Jim often reminds me) it's cute.
