[AccessD] Adding Attachments

MessageVirginia,

Here's some ideas:

1) Make a form that they can type information into and
hold the info in a table. If there are photos you can store
them (if necessary) or link them in the same folder as the db.
Then just print from a preformatted report.

2) Make use of the webbrowser control to view 
   external Office documents.

  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?
