Hardibacker/Green Board Seams
I am in the process of drywalling a bathroom. What do I do where the drywall and Hardibacker meet? Do I tape and bed the Hardibacker/Green Board seams just like I would a standard drywall seam or do I do something else? Thanks

I just did this
I would never again use hardibacker 1/2 inch for the walls behind my shower. Why? Hardibacker 1/2 inch is not 1/2 inch thick, it is less than one half inch thick. So where we abuted the greenboard at the top of the shower and sides, we had to taper the joint using thinset and tape(the mesh type). I would use wonderboard or something which is actually 1/2 inch thick. It is a pain to taper the joint and you shouldn't have to if Hardibacker made their board the correct width.
I can't say hardibacker is a bad product, we haven't even used the shower yet, still waiting to do the grout sealer, but if it says it's a half inch, make it a half inch! You can see my tiling job on the Ceramic Tile forum under 'My Experience with glass and ceramic mosaic tile".
