I'd have to agree with Paul on this one. In one of the new issues of aspNetPro magazine there is an article about storing files in your Database. It is becoming more common to store images, files etc.. in your DB rather than just putting a link to the file. Security is handled by the DB as well so you don't worry as much about setting up secure directories.
