Ah. I've been wondering throughout this entire thread why you don't seem to be too worried with how to effectively index the content that you are scanning for later search and retrieval.


The data is all in discrete files, each ranging from as little as 15 pages to as many as (so far, at least) 500 pages. Each discrete file pertains to all services for a single individual, and should a search and retrieval ever be needed, that individual's name is the leading part of the filename. So, for example, a file might be named Smith, John DOB 01-15-2002 DOT 07-25-2007 making it easy to scroll down through a directory to find the file she needs. Probably by the time it's all done, there will be about 1000 files, a manageable number when scrolling through an alphabetized file list.
