My company is currently in the process of converting to a paperless office
environment.  Documents, which have so far been stored on shelves in
lever-arch folders, will be scanned in and stored in a directory structure
with folders and sub-folders on our server (our shared directory).  
I wish to establish a database to run alongside as a search facility to find
individual documents.  However I dont want to have to create a field stating
the location of the document.  Instead I would like to be able to establish a
link from the database directly to the document or somehow arrive straight
there after having searched for and found the desired document.
Can someone tell me the simplest way to do this please.

Thanks
