Re: Advice needed on a multimember DDS file to be converted

["Crispin Bates" <cbates@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What would be really nice would be if there was not a 32 member limit.

Sure, there will never be more than 12 months in a year, so it works for 
months. But you couldn't use it for temporary orders unless you can be sure 
that there will never be more than 32 people creating an order at the same 
time. Seems like a bit of a design limitation to me...
