I am in the very beginning stages of developing a database for someone
in sort of an HR function in our organization. She needs to be able to
keep track of various employment qualifications - certification dates,
drivers license status, etc. The tricky request she has given me is
that she wants to click on a button/record/somesuch for an employee,
and have it bring up the appropriate scanned image, such as a scan of
the drivers' license, and then print it. I was thinking of using the
attachments feature in Access 2007 (which i will be developing in),
but saw that the attachment total for the database would be limited to
2GB. As she is dealing with around 500 employees, I think we'll use up
that allotment rather quickly.
Did I misunderstand the limitation? Or does anyone have a better idea
on how I might deal with this? I have *not* started any table design
at this point - I want to figure out how I might do this part first,
and get going on the design from there.
Thanks!
