Thanks. That was my first hunch. Was reading about FILESTREAM, but it appears to only be for one file per field.

I will pitch the concept of storing just the path in SQL Server. I've read about the Pros and Cons of doing this.

I just inherited this project and, as is the case with most things, there is 'history and politics'. So rather than bore you with the details...let's just call SQL Server 2008 an absolute.

Thanks so much for the help.
