    Question Adding an attachment field newly added to table - onto already existing form

    Hi I wonder if anyone can help me please?



    I have a form linked to a
    table, and I have added an attachment field to the table and I would like to
    include it in the form.

    I go into layout or design view and click on add
    existing fields, and I can see the attachment field (with 3 extra rows of data)
    I have selected all 4 and double clicked, and they are not adding to my form, if
    I put a attachment field in (the paperclip) I have no idea how to link it to the
    attachment field in my table.

    I have searched through my user guides and
    tried various things I have found online, but I just can't get it to
    work.

    I want to be able to attach scanned documents to the
    records.

    Thank you

    Clair

    Firstly Clair have you given the field a caption in the design of the table? If not, click on the field in design view and at the bottom you'll see the option to add a caption


    After that there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to drag the image onto the form in design view

    clicking on the image (if there are more than one will allow you to move onto the next one
