Download multiple files

Asked By: Malinda Meadows Date: Feb 06, 2009 Category: Sharepoint Views: 494

I have 3 document libraries:

1. Content
2. Request
3. Release

I have a list item with ability to create folder along with 3 views by adding
multiple content types in my list. The folder acts a container for all data that
is to be grouped together. The user creates the new folder and fills out the
form

1. The user next creates a content list item by filling out the form and linking
the content document via a lookup
2. The user next creates a request list item by filling out the form and linking
the request document via a lookup
3. The user next creates a release list item by filling out the form and linking
the release document via a lookup

I would like a way to programmatically download all the documents inside that
top level folder list item. Since the documents are not physically there I'm
having a tough time coming up with a plan of how to accomplish this.

Obviously I'm not privy to the reasoning behind all of this, but why not
make these a single item/form with a workflow to take care of the process?

Do you think you could elaborate on that idea for me? I'll be happy to go
another route if it will meet the project needs.

The idea here is that the documents are only stored one time.

The users request document access.

Administrators create a folder and fill out a form with data based on the
request. It goes through an outside approval process and when it is determined
that they are allowed to access this data the administrator will grant that user
access to the folder they created.

That is the overall goal. Along with that I'd like to have a way of downloading
all documents linked to the folder that the Administrator created for the
requester.

In SharePoint how do people usually handle needing the same document in multiple
locations?

My thought was to create a pointer to a single location, but then I can't use
the explorer view to download.
