Database Creation

[Voodoo45]

I am wondering if it is possible to create a database that is composed of Microsoft Word documents. If not, is there a way to create a database and then have links to the documents? I am creating an app in which the user must select from a list of template documents. I thought this would be easiest if all the docs were in a database. Any help on the subject would be appreciated.

Eric:

Access is definitely NOT the place to actually store Word documents (if you wanted that capability, Lotus Notes is the ideal as it is "document" based database). However, it is totally possible to store the links to documents within the database and provide user interfaces to access them.

The documents would need to be stored in an accessible place where all of your applicable users could have security permissions to access the stored documents.
