The system I set up just works. Hardest part is finding the time to do the scanning and shredding when I fall behind. I like your share point idea. Please keep me posted on how that works.

Are you doing anything new these days? I am about to embark on this effort to eliminate paper files and piles from my home. I am looking at the Neat Scanners which seem pretty slick including the software which organizes. I am also considering doing a simple sharepoint install (I do it for a living) to organize things and keep them clickable. bill (at) losfitzpatricks (dot) com Thanks!

You have a modest number of documents compared to my home! The biggest challenge is to assemble the papers as the multiple piles that you describe have migrated to many corners, boxes and bags throughout the house. Sorting the papers so that I organize documents by year is step #1. Thanks for you comment on the water bill... I think I got carried away and could have started scanning without finding every document first. I hope to scan documents by year to reduce the number of files. While the Spotlight search feature finds scanned (OCR'D) documents in a jiffy, organizing by folder is probably a better solution when you are seeking a specific document. For scanning I purchased the ScanSnap from Fujitsu. I’ve been planning to do this for months. You have a modest number of documents compared to my home!
