    Lightbulb Adding attachment to table

    Hello guys,



    ive been looking for an option to add an attachment automatically to a database after clicking on a button.

    So, i have a form, i enter the data, press a button and it generates a document on my desktop (or wherever).

    how can i have that document created to be added to the database using the same button to the record?


    thanks in advance!!

    Don't store documents as part of your database, store where you put them (path and file name), then you can open them whenever you want and not chew up space in your database. This requires you to have a fairly static folder structure but storing electronic files within your database is a bad idea.
