Hi all I would like to create a document database that will hold primarily wordprocessing documents, i.e msword or openoffice documents. I understand how to do this. The catch is this. I would like to, via a webbrowser, be able to open a template document in the mysql database using the wordprocessor on my local machine, write my document, then save it as a new document in the database and at the same time saving the document using an client_id from another database. This way i could later search the database to find all documents connected to a certain client id. Anyway, dont want to ramble..what i could do with is some pointers on what a reasonable approach would be to do this. Especially the part concerning picking up a client id and using it as part of the name of the document. As english is not my native language I can only hope i phrased myself in an understandable manner.
