    Attachment Table vs SharePoint


    I am wondering what is the better method. I have 2 .pdf documents that are currently on our SharePoint site and my front-end application in Access simply has buttons that point to the SP and those documents. The problem is it takes FOREVER to load. I am doing this remotely, VPN because I telecommute so that is part of the problem. However, most the org telecommutes. So end users will have to wait forever. I am thinking it might just be better to create an attachment table, load the 2 docs and point to that in the database instead. Any thoughts?

    Certainly only 2 PDF docs won't use up too much of Access file capacity. If this speeds things up, then do it. Can it hurt to just try?
