[AccessD] Scanning documents as attachment

Hi Susan

Well, at least I think you should create and link to a separate accdb for the attachment storage. This way many and/or large documents won't ever gobble up your main data.

We're on a shared drive that's gainormous. I'm not worried about space. The only reason she'd change a document would be if you chose the wrong one in the first place. Each animal comes in with one or two -- they don't change.
She wants to know when she receives them and then link to them so she can review them quickly instead of physically finding them in a file cabinet somewhere.

Guys, the new Attachment field is delightful. You double-click it and it opens a dialog to let you find and select the file. Once there's a file, you just click it to open it. I had to do absolutely nothing to get it to work. For our purposes, that's good enough for me. :) The ease has got me leaning toward a 10 easy things you didn't know you could do in Access without a little sweat article or something like that. :)
