    Multiple attachments for each Drawing No


    I would like to make a drawing management for my self.

    I have made a list that it has some columns like below

    Drawing no
    Title



    Also I want to make a document library that it has lookup column to the drawing no column of list.
    Now I want to attach a Auto cad file and pdf file for each drawing no.

    Now i do not know for solving my problem and also controlling versioning I have to create Document set and put files of each drawing no inside folder.


    Or I have to upload each file one by one and then select drawing no from lookup column.


    controlling versioning of files very important for me, I read some where on the net that Document Set can not change version Automatically and when we modify files inside of folder Document set, the version of Document set do not change.

    I have put my question in other forums but i did not get answer.
    appreciate for any help

    recommend don't store attachments in db. store them in known folder, with meaningful names then store the path to the folder and the filename

    you haven't provided much information to provide a helpful response which is probably why you have not got answers on other forums

    based on the limited information provided you need at least two tables

    tblDrawings
    DrawingPK
    DrawingNo
    DrawingTitle

    tblFiles
    FilePK
    DrawingFK - links to DrawingPK in tblDrawings
    DrawingName e.g. 'project Z v1.00.pdf'

    the path might be hardcoded in your code, stored in tblFiles or tblDrawings or perhaps in a 'config table'. Depends how you want to organise your folders

    research 'filedialog' for ways to select your file from a folder

    seems like a sharepoint question in setting up a document library.
