I created a new project and systematically added files from the old project . . . not the best choice but it worked since I am in a time crunch.

Please don't turn this into a what software is best debate. I have a serious issue that I need help with -- I need to know if it is a Perforce issue or a Flare issue.

In my experience, documentation is not very highly regarded and no one is going to take my word that Perforce is the problem. I have ...

We use Flare for writing and Perforce for source control. There are a total of seven writers accessing our projects.

As long as the same writer works in the same project, we don't have too many issues between Flare and Perforce. However, we recently lost two of our writers and brought two new ...
