Attachment Icon Picture

[rayape]

Hello All,

I am using the attachment field in my form in Access 2010. I downloaded a picture (a picture of paper clip) from the web to use it as the display image for the attachment field. When using the form, the paper clip picture is displayed so long as there is no attachment. When a file is attached, the display image changes to the type of file (in my case pdf). However, I want Access to display the paper clip icon. How do I do this?

Thanks.

G'd morning Ray,
I guess that you're out of luck. It seems like the attachment properties just has three options and none of them let you do what you need.
Being say that, i think that you can mimic that behavior with a text box and an image control.
G'd luck
