+This is a set of workbooks that bridged a gap in acq/ser processing
 for Project Conifer. See the "Instructions" worksheet in the acq-mono
 or acq-serials workbooks for more details on the procedures within
 each workbook. The instructions here are for setting up the workbooks

+Windsor was handed the requirement to support a J.D. Edwards interface
+that required a decade's worth of work under our previous system. These 
+workbooks would be much more simple if that had not been handed down, we are 
+still unsure if we will continue to be under this obligation for moving to
+Evergreen's native module. If so, Windsor might be using the workbooks
+longer than the rest of the Conifer consortium, just to save our partners
+the many steps required to interface with our finance system.

 To install the workbooks, it is important to decide whether the workbooks
 will be used by more than one person at a time. If there will be 
-concurrent use, make a copy of the acq-orders workbook for each user

-single user or will be shared, it is recommended that a directory
-structure be defined that reflects the current fiscal year, e.g.
+concurrent use, we make a copy of the acq-orders workbook for each user
+that will be processing purchase orders or invoices, and place all the 
+workbooks on a common network drive. By default, the workbooks are set 
+to use the following directory:
 
-K:\common\acq2009-2009
+C:\tmp\excel
 
-For concurrent use, put a shortcut on staff desktops that will open 
-the copied workbook, and change the settings on the masterlist
-workbook to make it shared (Review->Protect and Share Workbook). In
-most network environments, the settings workbook will open in read-only
-mode (because it is not shared), and the masterlist workbook will
-be available for update by multiple users. This is probably the
-most common and desired scenario, but the settings workbook can also be
-shared if it is common to modify funds and other configuration data
-within ordering workflows.
+Start with this directory if at all possible, and open the "askew-ar.xlsm"
+workbook first. There is some documentation on the first worksheet,
+you will be asked to open other workbooks, and select the "continue"
+key to make that happen. 
 
+For concurrent use, you would need to put a shortcut on staff desktops that 
+will open the a copy of the "askew-ar.xlsm"  workbook for each user, and 
+double-check the settings on the masterlist workbook to make sure that it 
+is shared (Review->Protect and Share Workbook). Excel shared workbooks
+are strange constructs, and we use a dirt simple locking mechanism to ensure
+only one update happens at a time. Excel does a "merge" for an update, it
+is not a database-like row modification, which means it is 1000 times less
+efficient for concurrent updates. This is not such a big deal with a small
+staff and a small acq budget, but would be painful at a bigger site (see
+note IN CAPS ABOVE :-))

 These workbooks use a fair amount of VBA programming, and in order to stop
 Excel from whining excessively about custom code, you can tell Excel
 to skip the warnings for workbooks that have additional programming
