    SharePoint costs money. Share Point Services (free) do not have workflow capability. We are looking into automation processes. Purchase, vacation, etc. requests approvals. New product launches, marketing campaigns, etc. We need to have a tool that will allow us to create workflow, add needed documents to it and track progress of the workflow. Thanks,

    There aren't many free workflow solutions, so you are probably going to have to pay for one (see the Skelta link) or roll your own using Windows Workflow which is free(ish) and even has a designer for it.

      Thanks. What do you mean by "Windows Workflow which is free(ish) and even has a designer for it"? What do I need to have in order to built my own Workflows? I'm sorry for these ?s. I'm not so experienced with all of this. Thanks,

        Basically, you need a copy of Visual Studio 2005 (or 2008). The free(ish) refers to the fact that you have to have a copy of VS to design it in. However, the Workflow designer can be embedded in other applications so you could embed it in your app with not too much work.

          What's is the Workflow designer? Do I need SharePoint for this? We do have VS 2005 I believe in house. Do you have any references (links, books maybe) that I can look into? Thank you.

            Well - this[^] has a lot about Windows Workflow (including links the designer) and this[^] is about hosting the designer. You don't need Sharepoint.

                        Why do you think we have message boards? What about helping others? If situation deteriorating stop reading posts and writing your BS. It's just a waste of time to read ur comments. If I need google I'll go there.
