I have done this in a couple of applications.  In one case, we used
WordBasic to interact with SQL Server.  From WordBasic (replaced by
VBA) we read other documents into files and accessed them.  Since we
had only text in the file, we stored the data in text fields as RTF.
This worked just fine.

In another case, we had Word documents that also contained bitmap
images (the users could order a custom document with his picture
attached to be faxed to a client or prospect).  These we stored in two
places, both were binary images in separate tables.  

In both cases everything went very well and performance was excellent.

Good luck in your application....

We do this via ODBC using MS SQL Server or MS Access. We store complete OLE2-Objects as
"image". The object type or the used database are not decisive for our implementations. It
should be possible with Sybase or any other ODBC capable database containing an "image"-like
type.
