[AccessD] Access & AutoCAD

Both.  First project is our departmental floor plan which will include ALL
of the attributes for personnel and equipment.  Later projects will build
BOM drawings in AutoCAD dynamically.  Concurrently with those, I would like
to develop an automation process which monitors a network folder, and when a
new drawing is placed there, automatically extract certain drawing
attributes, log them into a database, and create a .dwf format version for
intranet publication.

Mark,
Are you trying to use automation between the two or are you trying to use
access as a database for Autocad Attributes?

Has anyone tackled this combination?  There is ONE example in the AutoCAD
samples folder.  There is ONE book that I found regarding database
connectivity (circa 1999).  ...and a DISTINCT lack of web-based material as
far as I can tell:(  I would be most appreciative for pointers towards any
of the following: recent books (AutoCAD 2002 or later), web-based tutorials,
web-based examples, personal examples, cave paintings...anything.

Thanks in advance for any/all information.

Mark
Conversely, I am willing to pay $40 to anyone willing to take the AutoCAD
help files and develop a booklet within the next 2 weeks, including a table
of contents, that will allow me to chronologically work my way through a
project.
