    Thank you both for the responses, I had a feeling that was going to be the
    case but before I launched into a full document control system I thought I'd
    try.

    Roger to explain a little further.
    The documents they are emailing are merged forms from our database, at most
    they will add a note to the form the email it directly to the client. Our
    fear is that someone will copy one from our 'control folder' where changes
    are made and we will have a version being sent out that shouldn't be.

    Again thank you for the prompt responses.
