Hi,

Can anyone help me in finding out how to enable a user to add a file as an
attchement to an access object of which this attachment will be kept in the
DB along with the record?
Just to clarify - here is the usage:
I have a tool which enables tasks management. I have a central text field
which is being used for task description. I would like to enable the user to
attach any relevant file to the task (image, email, text file etc') and to
save this file in the DB as part of this record.

Thank for the help in advance,
Gadi.
 
What you need is a field of type OLE Object. That will allow you to include
_almost_ any type of "attachment".
