Adding unbound attachments to a form

[Mystified]

In Access 2007, is it possible to add an attachment to a form? I want to add
a word document with info on how to navigate this particular database. In
2003, I used an OLE object, but would prefer to attach if possible.

I see the attachment control, which lets me draw a square on the form. But
beyond that I am at a loss. Any tips?

The ACCDB database format (but NOT the MDB format) has specific
support for an Attachment field. Read the help file on this topic.

I read it but it is not helping me accomplish what I am trying to do.

Ex: When I'm in design view of my form, and I select the "unbound object
frame" control and drag it to the form, a window pops up that allows me to
browse and select a file. When I select the image control and drag it to the
form, this window also pops up. When i select the attachment control and
drag it to my form, nothing appears to allow me to browse for files. Is
there any way around this?

Thank-you!
