<DIV></DIV>Dear Marilynn and others,<BR><BR>I've read your document on Platform
requests database, and I think it will be a very useful<BR>tool for those
managing ship codes.<BR>I am currently working on the French ships and I find
very important to keep the address of websites where <BR>a ship description is
available; there can be several web sites per ship.<BR> Do you think these
web addressesshould be kept in the Notes field, or <BR>should it be worth to add
a specific field for website address (that can be multiple)?<BR><BR>Best regards

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2>There are a number of shortcomings with the
current platform code assignment process, some of these are technical in
nature and some are related to workflow processes and traceability of actions.

situation, both for you as users of the platform code process and for us as
administrators of the platform codes.<O:P></O:P></FONT></P>
