Hi all.

I have just made a small project to keep track of material orders, these are made out on excell forms which are saved into a dir on the PC.

My project is to keep a track of these orders, so the first line is the excel file as an upload, and the second is the date the order was approved and so on.

As the order is already made out in an excel form, all I want to do is when adding a new entry in the tracking list is to browse to the excel file and save it as a link to the original file. I dont want to upload the file to the database, or download it when selected, I just want to tell my database where the file is located when adding a new entry and when viewing I just want it to link to the file in the directory that it is saved in. Does that make any sense???
