So I was doing some more thinking about my issue, and I wanted to bat a few ideas past you all! How easy would it be to split my back-end database file into 2 separate files: one with attachements and one with all the rest of the data? The plan would be to then possibly have 2 front ends for...

Ha ha! yeah - its a shame I dont really know much code, and ahven't really got a clue where to start! Any pointers appreciated!

Hi Chelly, OK, just looking through your answers: Hmm, I dont think I'll be able to move it much higher - its only 2 folders deep and the second level is access controlled for different members of the team so I cant place it any higher as everyone will be able to access it. I dont think we...

The attachments are saved in the DB. This is required so that there is instant access from the DB and so that they cannot be deleted or modified once they are saved in the DB (I realise that that is possible, but less likely than if it were just a file in a folder on a drive!). I haven't...

many thanks!

Hi There, I’m new to Access databases and am asking for a bit of help; I have a bit of old IT knowledge (which is probably a bit dangerous), but have never worked with Access before and I’m hoping you guys can help out! A colleague has already set up an Access 2007 DB which I am trying to...

Hi All, Just joined as I am pretty new to Acccess and need some help!! I'm fairly geeky and have done a bit of visual basic stuff in excel, along wth a IT GCSE years ago!! I'm hoping to get some help to improve an existing DB that I've ended up taking over. Cheers!
