That's what I'm doing now, but the requirement I have is to keep access to the word files limited to only a few selected users. And it is very easy for anybody to simply click on a word document and view it. So that is why I thought of saving the doc files into a SQL Server database and then retrieve them by only those users authorized to see them. FWIW, those files contain cosmetics and perfumes formulae that the company is adamant should be kept secret at all costs.
