    Export Report with attachments

    I have created a very simple database to use as a task tracking tool for my team. Each task has an attachment. I have created a report that has simplified information about the taskings and has an attachment with more details. Currently it is set up to export as a PDF. Is it possible to embed the attachments in the exported PDF, or is there a better exporting solution.



    I am a beginner and my understanding of Access is very limited.

    Db wouldn't attach so I attached some screenshots.

    Unless the attachments are images displayed on the report, I think no, they cannot be embedded and become part of the PDF.

    What are these attachments?

    Code can extract attachments from the field and save to external location then can manipulate those files. https://www.accessforums.net/access/...ail-53868.html
