general question

[JohnE]

I have a mdb (fe_be) that has one form in it for
hyperlinks to templates (word docs and excel workbooks) in
a folder. When a person goes out to the templates and
completes it, when they do the save as, I would like to
have the template (now completed) stored in a table in the
db. Preferrably attached to the record that it pertains
to thru the ClientCode. Is this possible and if so how do
I get started on doing something like that? Are there
examples or literature I can view and/or read?
Thanks to anyone responding.

To my opinion, it's better to leave the word or excel files in folders and
to "follow" them from the access database (files information of dates,
names, folders...).
Also : what is part of the template (not supposed to change) and part of
user modification (content).
If all the content can't be typed in and modified from the database, then
the user can work on the word doc and excel doc (not anymore templates) and
you use those to push the data from the database...
hope that help.
