Attachments in a database
Hi,
I have a field on a database where an attachment needs to be added.
Is it possible to drag and drop an attachment from Outlook into the space for attachments on the database/ form, or would I have to download the attachment from the email, then save it manually into the database?
Is there a quicker way then doing it manually?
Cheers,
Jamie

RE: Attachments in a database
Hi Jamie, thanks for your query. It is possible to drag and drop attachments into this field, as long as the field type is set to OLE Object. Note, this doesn't save the file into the database, just creates a link to it so you will need to save the file somewhere.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
