The database is the back end of a CMS and it is on a local network without any web exposure. The files are associated with specific cases, but of course, you need to query the index table to know which files are associated with which cases. One reason for considering TW as an alternative application to the CMS application to supply the interface to the files is that it would make it possible to open multiple TW's as tabs within a single browser window so that the user would have nearly instant access to the files for any one of a number of individual cases.
The TW files would also be stored on the local file system. I suppose TW isn't really a requirement, but it opens up the potential for many other options, such as storing notes or metadata. I would compare it to putting sticky notes on the paper files. The electronic files being accessed can't be modified, so having an easy way to create notes that relate to specific files would be nice. ~Roger On Oct 30, 11:04 am, FND <[email protected]> wrote: > > Looking around the net, it appears that it might be possible to access > > a local database via ODBC using an ActiveX object in the IE browser. > > Presumably one could write an application to provide the necessary > interface (similar to the way the TiddlySaver Java applet enables > loading and saving local files on certain browsers). > > -- F. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
