Hi all,
I have been trying to play with the attachments in the table.
in a table where there are some records, there a few attached pdf files. I can add it to the main form and it will show me this field that when I click on it, it will show the attachments, and then I can add, delete, view and so on. What I would like to get is something similar when you go to a website where they sell books. you will see all the books covers displayed on the form.
Is there a way to do such thing? I tried with the unbound object frame and then add them in the form (in view mode), I can them just drag those pdf from the folder inside and they will show up nicely, but when I close the form and open again, they are gone and the one that initially set there as per link, are back. The PDF files have to be on the database as it will be sent out per email and then the person there needs to have those attachment visible as they don't have access to the folders on our drive.
Maybe by linking the frames to the attachments in the table?
I have only this idea, but no clue what the possibilities are.
Greetings.
