One of the components was the handling of account files, spreadsheets, invoices and other miscellaneous text file and graphics. These files were storied externally in a public/private set of directories but their locations were all transparently managed for the MS Access application. MS Access can be setup to access Outlook emails but how it would also manage attachments is something I have never researched. If there is any way I could help just let me know.

I know it's always best to leave them external, but beyond that: a. Any best practices you've found for linking them to a given case - i.e. do you tag them or place them in a per claim specific directory? b. How do you handle inbound faxes? Any recommendations on software? c. What about e-mails with attachments? Manual operation to cut/save the attachment or something more automatic? Any insights would be helpful.
