Importing Files
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could let me know if this is
possible. What I'm looking at doing is creating a database that keeps track of all corresondence (letters, reports, etc.) The correspondence would then be scanned onto the computer. Information like DateReceived, Sender, etc. would be entered into the database. I'd like to be able to then go back and search through the database for certain correspondence and then be able to view the correspondence from the results. I would assume this can be done, but if it is a difficult task please let me know as I'm a new Access user. If it is difficult I would assume it would be best to add a FileName and PlaceOnFile field to the database to be entered in with each scanned document, so that way the results of the query/search would just show the user where to get access to the file? Any help/comments would be appreciated...thanks! |

When you add records, DateRec, Sender, Type etc. you will trace the path to the file that has been scanned. John Parkinson |
