[AccessD] Adding Attachments

I really do not know what I am after :-) I am open for any ideas because I
sure can't think of any...
 
Make a folder to store the attachments and they would place them in the
directory? Would it matter if they were .pdf or .doc or any type of file?

Virginia,
 
You can have a hyperlink field in a table in which the link to the external
document is placed.  Is this what you are after?

Is there a way to add a document as an attachment to a database? 
 
The database is used to request services. The data is entered by a customer
and sometimes the customer needs to add additional documentation to support
their request. The attachment might be a sketch or Word file.
 
Does anyone have any idea how this might be done?
