Thanks James. 

I was thinking along the lines of an app we use here called DocRecord by Prism. 
An entry in the database is actually a collection of any kind of document you 
can read from the file system. So for example, everything related to the sale 
and installation of a copier, the proposal, contract, lease, site survey etc. 
are all a part of a collection. Adobe has their own device for this, but so far 
as I know only accept PDFs.
