I am using the latest version of DNN Enterprise.  Can someone please explain the difference between the document, repository and document library modules.  The videos I've seen and the docs I've read just arent clear enough.  Examples of how/when I would use these modules would be most helpful.

Documents module allows you very easily, to provide a list a files for download.
Repository is a bit more complex, has different templates and can be used for user uploads as well.

Document Library is part of the commercial DNN versions only and might cover both other modules.

Thank you Sebastian.  There's still some confusion on my part that I will have to continue to research concerning how or if the document library and the documents module work together.  For example, are the documents that are listed in a document module actually stored in the document library and just displayed on the documents module or are they truly two separate "storage" areas?

In case it helps, have you seen this page http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Professional-Edition/Document-Management.aspx If you download the Document Management Datasheet there are telephone and email contacts to get further information. The video on that page may help as well.
