from my knowledge. i am pretty much sure this thing works for Images
also. anyways what you need to do is create a button and a textbox
which is bound to that button field so then you can open a dialog box
open/save which will give you access to add an attachment. you need to
create a standard module here is the link:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
just copy everything from start code till end code and then go to
properties on that button and Onclick event type this :
Private Sub Button_Click()
Me.YourTextBoxName = GetOpenFile(CurrentProject.Path, "Select Source
File")
End Sub
and then go to properties of your textbox in Onclick event and type
this :
Private Sub YourTextboxName_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink (YourTextboxName & "#" & txtLOC & "#")
End Sub
you will see that you will get an option now to add an attachment. you
can add anything you want to .doc or .xls or .mdb or .jpeg. to enter an
attachment for an image type the entension of the image in the:
Function GetOpenFile()
you will see the code something like this :
' Define the filter string and allocate space in the "c"
' string Duplicate this line with changes as necessary for
' more file templates.
strFilter = ahtAddFilterItem(strFilter, _
"Access (*.mdb)", "*.MDB;*.MDA")
you can add as many extensions you want with "*.jpeg;*.bitmap, etc
hope this will help you.
Thanks
