Well the better choice is to create a Web application and run it on your IIS or on your server's IIS then you can read/write files on your database via local area network instead of creating a windows app and deploying it on all client PCs

Please mark as answer and vote 5 if this solved your problem

yes there will be some. you must allow access from your web server and your client PCs but that's not a big issue since you have network admins with you

Thanks for your suggestion.I have pne more question if you can answer this it will be great. The files I need to access will be located in a variety of locations. Some of those files will not necessarily be located on the same server .Files will be located in places like: W:\Eng\Released\drawing.pdf W:\Eng\DEV_Docs\1703\deviations.doc X:\Manufacturing Engineering\Flat Patterns\704664-12_REV-D.DWG. This features is possible with web app please need you expert opinion .......

If you're only working on machines on your LAN, a windows desktop app would probably be the better choice.
