Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to import PDF files in to a
Microsoft Access 97 Database.
If so how do you do this?

What do you mean by import?
Link them so that you can launch them from within your Access application,
or importing data from a PDF form?

Well I have a database that takes into account peoples comments form a
survey. Sometimes these people also send in letters also and I would
like some way of attaching the letter to the Database.

And you are getting this information as PDF files that are located in a
directory on a server?
If all you want to do is create a connection to those files, you can make a
table with hyperlinks. I assume a survey/record can have several
letters/comments associated with it [a one-to-many relationship], so your
Comments table would have an ID field as primary key, maybe "CommentsID" as
an autonumber field, the record ID of the main table as a foreign key, in
other words, a number field called something like "SurveyID", and a hyperlink
field where you store the location of the files.
