I have an unbound entry form on a tool and now need to be able to add attachments to the entry. What I have tried is setting up a temp table to as the record source for the form so I can use the attachment control on the form. What I need to happen is once the new record is saved on the entry form, I want to move the attachment to the new record and clear the temp table in VBA. Because you cant include a multivalued field in a update query, I am at a loss on how to proceed.
Just hit me that I might be able to just change the temp table to a table just for attachments with a link to the main table. I will have to play with this to see if it will work. But I would appreciate any assistance on the VBA coding or thoughts on the pros/cons of a linked table. Other forms will be looking at the data and will need to access the attachments so I'm not sure how well the linked table will work based on issues I have had working with attachments in queries.
