Hi everyone, I have been developing an invoice database system for my company. Right now they enter all the info from their invoice into an Access Database via a form. I got an idea, and am curious to if it is even possible to implement. I was thinking it would be really cool, and useful, if the employees could not only enter the invoice info but also scan the invoice into a PDF file. The file then would be put in the Access Database in the same record as the invoice info. This could then be used for later reference purposes.

Any thoughts?

I think one way to do this is to create a folder in windows, put the .pdf's there and link to them. You could import them into you .mdb file but things grow in size pretty fast when you use this method...

Would importing the PDF files into my .mdb file take up more disk space than putting them in a folder?....Or would it be about equal?

I'm not sure if there is significant size difference. Maybe someone else has some input...
