That looks like a fabulous tool, actually. I've wanted that functionality for years. But it's not quite what I want. We get orders for services via PDF. We need to keep them, and call them up months or years later. We'd need to find things like "all of the PDFs for Customer X" or "all of the PDFs for circuit ID such-and-such." Surely other people have had this problem, for generic documents/files if not PDFs in particular... ==ml -- Michael W.
