Hello
I'm thinking of creating a database for the receipt and issuing of drawing files. Each record would consist of several versions of the same drawing in different file formats, typically DWG, DWF, PDF & possibly ZIP aswell. The idea being you could search for a particular drawing and either just view it or issue it via email to someone else.
I've worked with a few online (html) databases before and they seem to work well, but was wondering if MS Access is also good at handling a databases using these sort of external files, rather than just storing the usual number/text.
Has anyone created anything like this before or have any thoughts on the subject?
Many thanks
Marc
