JPS,
I have never don this, but it should in my idea be possible.
Add a context menu to your standard windows menu and use that to start a
program using application start.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753589.aspx
The program (a console application) does nothing more then to show a
FileOpenDialog and add the choosen file to the SQL server.
(It is in my idea not simple not possible to find the file in the running
program as that can have more than one file).
Probably you need to use SQL Server authithencation as you want to make your
live simple.
However not a job for a simple sample here.

We have a ASP.Net/SQL Server application that is used as a document
management system. The documents are stored per project. The files are
stored on a file server but we store the file name in the database and
when displaying the files build a grid at run time to allow users to view
the files like
http://servername/files/filename.doc

The problem we have currently is users have to use the web form to upload
the files to database. Most users will work in thier local pc and when
done will use the form to upload the file.

What we want them to be able to do is to Right Click on any document/file
and select "Save to Doc Manager" function. They enter the project id and
the file is then saved automatically using the same method that is used on
the web. i.e. copy the file to a specific location and add an entry to the
sql server table.

Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
