I would like to attach word files to my database. When I go to find the
attachment data type it is not there. Is this the version of access I have
or is there a way I can install this?
 
The Attachment field type exists in Access 2007 only.

If you have this version, you don't have to install anything to use it.
However, you do need to use the new file format (ACCDB), not the old MDB
format.

In an MDB you can use a Hyperlink field to link to the file. That may be
more efficient than embeddind a copy in the database. It also avoids the
problems related to using Multi Valued Fields, as Attachments are MVFs.
