Attachment data type - not working in form
I haven't use the attachement data type before.
I set up a field in my BE tables as an attachment data type. I placed this field in my FE form, but when I right click on the field the "Manage Attachments" and all other options on the shortcut menu are greyed out. Any ideas? -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com |

Delete the attached table in the front end.
Compact. The attach the table again. Attachments are multi-valued fields, and use a super-hidden link table that's not visible anywhere in the database. The link data doesn't have this super-hidden table linked. Destroying the link, and then linking it again should solve the problem. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

From memory, you can actually see them referenced in some of the hidden system tables that deal with complex columns -- was it MSysComplexColumns? -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
