Hi,

I'm fairly new to DNN and I'm not sure if this topic has ever been discussed or not. If it has, please just provide a link to any such threads and I will research them.  My question has to do with documents. My company is going to be using DNN for a document portal, and we are going to have hundreds of different documents on it,  many of which will need to be updated by different individuals.  Is it possible - with the standard built-in functionality provided by DNN - to link to and open documents stored in a database table instead of having to upload and maintain files on the file system via FileManager?  And then make changes to the documents and write them back to the DB?   Or would this require us to purchase or write our own 3rd party module to do this?  By default, does DNN only support documents on the file system?

Thanks

Thanks. I now see how to upload/store files in the database.  However, I don't see any way for setting write permissions on files, to where I can make a change to the document and have those changes written back to the database.  Are you sure this functionality is actually feasible in the FileManager application?  If so, exactly how do I do it?

When I open a Word document from the database for example, it prompts me to open it read-only, unless I need to make changes to it.  I instruct it not to open it read-only.  I then make a small change to document and either click the "save" icon, or use "File | Save" from the menu.  I don't receive any errors and it appears to save the changes.  However, if I close the file and then re-open it again from the DB, my change is gone.  Also, clicking on the edit icon in File Manager only allows me to change the file name. There are no options for setting file properties.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
