Thanks opc.three for your thoughts.

We may need to email lost copies and print the PDF, but these are all functions we would have to write. I would envisage sticking the PDF in a seperate Archive DB to teh actual production database as this will cause the Database to grow significantly if we did databse the files.

Access to the Filesystem would reduce to nothing the more we can get "done" within teh database.

Again thank you for your input.

Regards
