    Attach form to a table field?

    I will start by explaining the big picture of what I am trying to do in case anyone has a better suggestion...

    I am attempting to automate emails using a directory or many to one style mail merge.
    The merge needs multiple pdf attachments inserted, and they are specific to each employee referenced in the email.

    There is a main table that provides the data for this merge, but also the data for a forms database which is how the pdf's are generated.

    My question is this:

    Is it possible to put each individual form back into the main table as an OLE object, etc?


    My thinking is that I can just make the pdf (or whatever file type it needs to be) another field in the mail merge.



    I am comfortable with VBA if that would be required, although most of my coding is in Excel.

    First, I don't understand why you would want to put a copy of form in table. Second, I doubt can be done.
    How to attach file: http://www.accessforums.net/showthread.php?t=70301 To provide db: copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip w/Windows Compression.
