Is there a control for attaching a file to a record?
I am using Access 2003 . I want to browse for a file and attach the file to
the record. For eg. details of a student in the .doc file should be browsed and attached to that perticular student concern.When I click on the button/Image in the form, I want to open a dialog box where i could browse for a file and then the file should be attached to a field in the database.

You could use the ActiveX Common Dialog control, but ActiveX controls are not
worth the trouble they cause. Here is a link to an API alternative that is very easy to use. Also, you should use a Hyperlink type field to store the path and name of the document.

Thanks, Douglas. I have Copy down pretty good. Obviously I need some work on
the Paste part. "Douglas J.
