The method includes checking if a co-operation file exists on the central database with an ID matching the ID of the co-operation file stored on the document user's storage medium where the checking is initiated by the supplier trying to access the co-operation file stored on the document user's storage medium, and informing the user if a version of the co-operation file stored on the central file server differs from the version of the co-operation file stored on the document user's storage medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for handling co-operation files between customers and suppliers where a unique ID is attached to the co-operation file. The customer stores co-operation files on a central file handling database and the co-operation files of the supplier are stored on a supplier computer. When a user tries to access the co-operation file stored on the supplier's storage medium, the user is informed if a version of the co-operation file stored on the central file server differs from the version of the co-operation file stored on the supplier's storage medium.
