Hi, Katie,

Thanks for your good work and your interesting report. 

I think a dual approach might be best -- go ahead with the paper-based binder, and include a notation for the online form (WHICH WE NEED TO ESTABLISH TOGETHER).  But also give them the URL electronically in an inescapable way -- thus, not just in email nor bookmark, but actually make a web shortcut on their desktops.  

As an alternative to generic web shortcut (which invokes the system's default browser for the user, in CPS almost always an outdated install of IE), have we ever discussed browser-specific shortcuts?  On the user's own logged-in desktop -- or as techco, in All Users Desktop (for XP) or Public Desktop (for Win7) -- copy the square "Google @ CPS" google-apps shortcut icon.  Edit the name.  Open its Properties and  edit the Target field.  In the Target field, after the local filepath to the Chrome browser, there is a URL -- it will be the CPS Gmail link, but erase that and put in the new CUIP Canter Tech Request Form URL instead (while not damaging the program filepath part).  

I was interested to see your report mentioning a teacher's home folder working.  Sounds good!  Canter has however sometimes had bad luck with the local fileserver.  So it's worth checking the server from time to time (you could ask Mr. fishbein if he can still access his files!  Or is that asking for trouble?).  And one of these days we should look into doing a backup of user home folders from the server, probably to an external HDD.  

Thanks,
