Hi all, I’m beginning to work on a new project (4D v16 on Windows) for a client that handles a LOT of physical documents for their clients. They’ve got a huge storage issue and when they need to refer to a document, they spend huge amounts of time searching the physical files.
I’ve not started prototyping anything yet but I think I’ve got a viable approach. The server will have a shared directory with a sub-directory for each of their clients. There will be a dialog where the user enters information about the document, including a text box where they can enter a brief description of the document. The user would then drag-and-drop a scan of the document onto the description text box and an “on drop” event would trigger a document capture method. This method will have to rename the document (the file-name will be created automatically within 4D without changing the extension), check that the relevant sub-directory exists on the server (and create it if it does not), and then save the renamed file to the server. If any of you have done something similar, I would really appreciate any feedback on my approach and would welcome any suggestions, pseudo-code, or code that you would be willing to share. Thanks much, Ken Geiger Dolores, CO [email protected] ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: http://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
