we are 4 users working on the same boat using similar sequental part numbers through vault. because we may create a few parts before adding them to the vault we are having problems with part duplication. at the moment we are passing round a piece of paper and ticking off the part numbers each of us use but its not ideal. is there anything out there that would help?

weve tried sharing excel sheets but its not really live, ie, you have to open the sheet do your thing and close the sheet to update it. ideally we would like to have a program running in the background that we can pop up and everyone else can see the changes made as you type them. we have looked into getting something written for vault but cant justify the expense...
In the past, we had printed out sheets of sequential part numbers (100 per sheet), and each person got one sheet. When they assigned a part number to a component, they wrote it on the sheet, and then entered the number and other data into our system. When the sheet was full, they would turn it into the person that kept the main book, and would get another sheet of blank numbers. It worked really well.
