      Hi -

       

      This is a Bridge question so I hope I'm in the best forum for an answer.

       

      I have a huge image database (3000+) in MS Access.  My supervisor wants to customize it.  By the time he was finished describing his wish list it sounded like he wanted to re-invent adobe Bridge.  So I demonstrated how we can open the folders of images, display, make collections and keyword, etc.  So far so good- until he reminds us that there are image attributes (column headings in an Access table) that we would have to enter by hand.  Yikes!

       

      Is there a way to automate Bridge so that these attributes are filled in as keywords to their respective images?

      I can get Access to output the table as Excel spreadsheet or CSV list.  Will that help?

       

      Am I on track or does Bridge lack the functionality to handle being fed by a db or spreadsheet?

       

      TIA some input.
