[AccessD] Adding Attachments

If you have a table with just a single field of the "OLE Object", you can have them insert 
as many PDFs, Word documents etc as you want into the table.  

You can even set them up with a simple form containing  a file browser and code 
behind it to save the selected file into the table to make it easier for them.
