Hello All,
Long time listener, first time poster here. We are building a document management system on top of Microsoft CRM 4, and want to give our users the ability to access stored documents via a UNC path, a little bit like SharePoint does. All the documents are going to be stored as BLOBs inside of the SQL Server Database. As a phase two we would ideally like people to be able to add back documents into folders and have them log back into the database with the right meta data, but that's a long way off.
Does anyone know how you might go about creating such a monstrosity? Any feedback gratefully received.
Cheers,
Patrick

Hi
You can use the SharePoint concept and use a web service to provide your documents. The url can be parsed by the web service and return the correct document. The direct document upload in SharePoint works with a ActiveX component for IE.
If you want to provide a directory service you can either use IIS virtual directories or an custom FTP server (either any free one from internet or an own FTP protocol implementation).
