I am thinking about creating a document library database to store important
legal documents scanned in adobe pdf format. The project raises a number of
issues.
1) I want a form in Access to handle the upload. The user will browse to the
target file and Access will copy it to the proper table. How do you program
for this browse option and then copy the file?
2) I am running into a network issue. Rather than send dozens of employees a
copy of the front end and wonder if they have the proper mapping or
permission to the back end, I was considering a web based data access page
and sending out a URL instead. But the network access permission, when
writing the file, still gets in the way. I am hoping this is a common problem
with an existing solution.
Anyway, rather then get bogged down in details, I think that outlines the
situation. How can I get employees from around the world, regardless of their
network permissioning, to upload a pdf into my table? As always, any help
would be greatly appreciated.
