File Attachment Utility

[Nathan Andelin <nandelin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I could use some advise on a File Attachment Utility.  I'm just now 
working on it.  A couple screen shots are at the following link:

The idea is to place an "Attach" tab on any standard maintenance screen 
to attach files to any other entity.  The screen shots show a Person 
maintenance screen, but the idea is to be able to attach files to 
anything I may have in my database.  In a project maintenance screen, 
you might attach various documents to a project record.

A utility, in other words.  In "view" mode you can browse and open 
attachments.  In "add" mode you can browse the network to upload and 
attach files to things.

This utility is working except for the most important part; uploading 
and storing files in the IFS.  That's where I could use some advise.

I've downloaded the FUPLOAD utility from www.easy400.net and looked at 
the RPG source code.  FUPLOAD has it's own user interface, so it would 
take some work to make it interact with my utility.  Nevertheless I 
appreciate Giovanni Perotti for his open-source work.  Before I charge 
forward with that, are there any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Nathan.
