how to replicate linked document

[Supicek]

My database should includes hyperlinks to external *.doc or *.pdf documents.
Back end is synchronised over the internet (vpn). I wonder if there is a way
how to synchronise together with database also linked documents?

I am not aware of any tool to manage it. I plan to synchronise the folder
where the external documents are stored using anohter tool (totalcomander,
ftp).

Does anyone knows if I can achieve this using only MS Acces tools?
thank you

You could store the documents in OLE fields in your replicated
database, but the overhead on this is incredibly high. I did it in
an app 10 years ago, and it worked OK, but it was a lot of overhead.
