Ben: instead of constantly emailing each other updated copies of work/MP, use Dropbox to have a database of documents updated in real-time. I recommend leaving the 'base folder' (you will understand what i mean when u set up the account), because Company servers are more reliable and have a better chance of recovery during failure. Word of caution, create draft copies and work on them. Leave 'MP Final original' in the base folder. create sub-copies like 'MP Final jane', 'MP Final John', etc, so that u wont sync over your partner's original file by mistake. This happened to me, so take my word for it.
