Lookup Tables on server or local machine?

[jseck]

For those of you who work for a company with multiple offices, how are you handling your lookup tables? Are you placing a "master" lookup table folder on a single server and then pointing everyone's machine to that location or are you keeping the lookup tables in the default folder on the local machines? It seems like placing them in one location would make it easier to maintain when custom content is created but then there is the possibility that if that server goes down, it could halt production. Keeping the tables on a the local (user) machines is a safer bet, but then you have to make sure everyone has all the lookup tables. Your thoughts? Suggestions?

We keep the Lookups on the server. My company invested in some custom content from Andekan, and the corresponding tables needed to be accessible to all MEP users. I don't think I would want to be responsible for copying that set of files to everyone's machine.

Regardless, if the server goes down, you have more problems than just lookup tables, haha.

I'd have to agree. If the server goes down you more than likely won't be able to find licenses for the software anyways.

I say put them on the common server.

Would you care to post a review of the purchased content?
