    Unable to add attachment to attachment field from form, but not table?

    Hi,



    I created an attachment field and displayed it on the form. The database is a split database so when i created the new field i relinked it also. When i click on the box to add attachments the menu box comes up but the add button is greyed out, can someone tell me why.

    thanks.

    I've never tried an attachment field in a split database. One solution found in another thread:

    "I had to delete the table link between the front and back end, then relink the table to the front end. The form works fine now! Simple fix - thanks to Allen Browne for his help."

    Lots of large embedded files can use up Access file size limit fast.
    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.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
