I have a design that includes articles that will be searched. Obviously its too slow to put them into fields, and impossible because some have photos or are otherwise html documents. So I want to put pointers to their location.
Two questions. For each deployment, both desktop and web, where is the best place to put the articles. In any folder, or only in an iis virtual folder

It would include word documents but also links to audio/video, or maybe the audio/video itself, or articles from newspapers or magazines, including the usual formatting, banners, photos, links, maybe even pdf documents.
Thank you very much for answering promptly.

Glenn, thanks loads, but I'm not so advanced to understand multiple web servers. I'm going to start this whole thing from my xp pro, and when the backers and I settle on the specs we'll find a hoster, and they can deal with those issues as long as I can update the database in real time. I definitely don't know how to do that yet.

I personally would store the folders in another location away from the web server, and I agree with the choice of not storing them inside the database.
To me having then installed inside the virtual directorys on the webserver would just add that extra chance that some one could get to it. But having them stored on a different server you could then include the web server system into some sort of web farm to increase the uptime of the system.
