Blackberry only supports top posting apparently...

With that said we have used filepro to scan store and file all of our invoices, payables, contracts, and any other important documents for over 7 years now and there is no shortage of space or taxing of the system resources. We do file these images in folders with the highest directory being the year they were scanned so that we can just delete the older records if space becomes an issue. 

It has been a huge time saver for us to not only file the papers, but also to retrieve and distribute them when needed. I totally recommend this project. And if space is an issue, dedicate a server to their storage. The cost will be repaid quickly in the man hours that are needed to file papers in their files then go through the entire file to find it later!

Good luck.

While I can understand the heavy storage requirements on the server, I'm 
curious about the CPU-intensive part. What do you do with the image files 
on the server other than store them and feed them back?
