Hi Luc,
Personally I would not store this kind of information in the database itself. It's quite easy to create a link from the database to the file management system and then you can open the file with the launch command. The benefit of this approach is a smaller database (important in case of backup / restore) but also the possibility to open a file of any kind as long as the extension is known in Windows.

What would be the most elegant way to this, considering there are more than 80.000 files to upload in the table....? Luc Delcoigne
