I have done it using R:tango, IIS5 and W2k. R:tango is Tango2000 and an R:base database.
I am not sure about how your DB handles the blobs, but to load the files, I upload the the file to a temp file on the server and then do a directdbms command to put the file into the database. Pulling the pdf out if you write it to a temp file on the server and link to that file it is very easy. It is a little trickier, but can be done where you pull the file and send it directly to the browser w/o needing to put it in a file on the server.

Tango2000, W2K server, IIS5, SQL2K I'm building an application to search and display lots of PDF files. My preference would be to store the files in the database, rather than try to organize and keep track of all the separate files. Does anyone know if this method will work with PDF files? If so, has anyone done a similar app? I'm having problems getting the files loaded & displayed - I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, or if it's just not going to work. Thanks for any suggestions! jamileh ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf ________________________________________________________________________ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: Go to http://www.witango.com/maillist.taf
