Scan medical insurance cards

Can you direct me to a course where I can scan medical insurance cards and drivers license into my database? I know Richard does not recommend storing the images in the database. I want to know how to link it to a folder in my computer on the back end. Thanks.

Imaging Seminar shows you how to take pictures you've already scanned in, copies them automatically to a central server folder, and stores the reference to them in your database record.

I saw the imaging tech help and think it may work. I am planning to make a button in the insurance sub form in my pt info form. I was planning to save the cards as c/234.pdf in a folder in the c drive to correspond to the insurance ID ( which we be 234 in this case). What path should I write in my database for it to pull that pdf for that particular record? I want it to show the card when I click a button automatically.
I just want help to name the path to pick the pdf corresponding to the Ins ID. Is there a way to do that?

To add to this question, we store our pt data files in google drive. I had created a link to open the drive to locate the file based on your wonderful tech help video. It was amazing and thank you for that. . But the problem with Google Drive is that it keeps changing from G: , E: , F : constantly on a day to day basis, so I can't store the location correctly in the VBA code. It worked beautifully when it was the correct path. I had to delete that as it was not helpful on a day to day. My pt files are many and we hv to access it outside our portal on the go. So storing all of then in the backend will not help. Are there any suggestions?

I use Google Drive myself, and I've never had the drive letter change from G: to anything else. Perhaps something else on your system is causing the problem. You will definitely need a consistent location for Access to store and read the files from.
