Hello:
I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to script the following situation.
The company seeking this functionality is a construction company. They are looking to create an in-house application which will allow them to view documents for a specific job project.
They are currently setup on a network server. Every project has its own directory on the server. All documents pertaining to a specific project is stored within their directory. The documents can be anything: Word, Excel, PDF, etc.
Their business is growing quite rapidly. It is getting difficult to search for documents manually. They would like to have a search capability where they can type in a project number and all the documents for that project be displayed on the screen. As I mentioned before, all documents for a project is stored in their own folder so the search needs to be able to search within all directory structures. I am not quite sure how the directories are named at this time. I'm hoping that the project number is part of the directory name.
Is this possible to accomplish? I attached a graphic image of what they would like to have.
I original thought was to create a database where all documents are stored by project number. If there is a much better way to do this I'd be happy for suggestions.
Thank you all for your time.
