Storing Word Document in D

Hello guys and gals,

I am trying to come up with a solution to store word templates in the
database and then extract them to the user's hard drive to do a word merge.
This is so I can standardize the documents for all users and not have
various versions of the "form letters" floating around on various computers.

What I want to do is copy the word documents from the database to the hard
drive as a word document. Then I can use Albert Kallal's word merge code to
create the actual output.

I have been able to get the documents into an OLE Object field and can get
to the documents on a form.

Do you have any pointers to a site that might have a tutorial or code on
doing this?

Or perhaps this is a better way to do this. I have in the past set up a
directory on a server and used the word templates from the directory and
that may be my ultimate solution. It just seemed that storing the templates
in the database (MS SQL backend) would be a better solution.

Thanks.
