Mr. Alcock, you mean the AvePoint Extender will only work for SQL Enterprise? That is an excellent observation - a detail that I missed when I looked over the Extender.

I tried to convince my boss we needed to purchase a license for the SQL Server, but he insisted that 10gb was enough, so I am sort of stuck with Express.

Also, it looks like I would have to install the entire Ave suite before I could get the extender (which *is* free) - and would have to ask for a license code for the extender (fine).

The best answer to your question:
Contact Avepoint support/sales

Hey, that is right interesting! It requires that the folder be shared, and requires a full path with unc name. It seems to work okay on the LAN with Internet Explorer, but unless the user is connected via vpn, there is no way to translate the file-system address. It seems like there would need to be a way for sharepoint to translate its own web-address into a file-system location.

Okay, I am trying out another approach - putting a custom asp.net uploader into a page-viewer web-part. I posted in Stack Exchange, too, if anyone wants to follow up there.
