Hi guys!

I've made a simple INSERT form write some records in a database....

then I need to associate to every record a PDF FILE or a WORD FILE..

so who (a user) insert a record should upload a file ....

How could associate the record to the file that an user upload?

classical article pubblication problem...do you know some tutorial?

Hi 3rdEyed,

There are 2 ways that come to my mind in doing this.

1. Add a VarChar field in your table which stores the path and file name of the PDF or DOC file. You can later get this file from the file system and do whatever you like.

2. Use a FileStream to get file in a byte array. You can store the byte array in a binary field in database table.

I will recommend the first way, since it will not give much overhead to database.
