Default New Attachment field and Linked Table

no, I did exactly the same thing.... the only difference might be that my
database was previously in A2003. The linked table acts like the field is
locked in the front end.

Just tried, and did not have a problem.

Using A2007, I opened an ACCDB and linked a table from another ACCDB. The
linked table has an Attachment field. Opening the linked table in datasheet
view, I was able to add and delete attachments okay.

Was your case different?

I have just converted an exsiting database to Access 2007 format. It is
split, front end and back end. I have created a new field in a tables
database as an attachment field. If I go to the datasheet view I can add
attachments to the table without any problems. The front end of the
database
that is linked however, doesn't allow me to access the attachment field.
The
option for managing attachments is greyed out in the menu. Is it the case
that you cannot use an attachment field to a linked table, or am I doing
something wrong?
