I have searched MTStars and can't find my answer. I have posted this question before and do not get a reply. I promise this will be my last attempt to find this answer. I know how to use follow up and follow-up, BUT many people are using followup per BOS. I can't find followup as a word in any dictionary. Can someone please tell me where this is found BESIDES BOS? Thanks in advance. We are possibly putting in a quality check and I want to make sure I have it correct before then. Thank you!
