Requesting some ideas

We recently replaced one of our printers with a Brother multi-function 
fax machine that is capable of scanning to an FTP file.  For awhile I 
had been thinking of setting up our system to scan in relevant documents 
like signed Bill-of-Ladings, but I didn't want to go through the hassle 
of integrating older technology.  This Scan-to-FTP allows me to make it 
much simpler as the files are created and labeled automatically with the 
scanning operation and then deposited in a specific directory on the 
server.  But the system still needs to associate these files with 
appropriate records in Filepro.

I've had a couple of different ideas of how to do this, but before I 
went about it, and in light of Nancy's suggestion to use the list more 
(though this is the reverse of posting a tip...It's asking for some), 
what methods have others used or would consider using to do this?
