Access 2013 offers the possibility to create 1 or more fields with the ATTACHMENT datatype. Looks very interesting and works when I handle directly in the "main" table, including forms when active in same data-file.
As we have built a multi-user application, our main tables are "linked" to our user application-file.
Building a form in this "application"-file doesn't give access to the attachment-type-fields and possibilities. As multiple "docs" are used by different users, such a field is (for us) an optimal solution.
Any ideas why it doesn't work?
Thanks for any suggestion

After some experiments with them, I have always avoided the attachment data type for desktop databases. There are many posts from people having issues with it. I have also had lots of issues with them in Desktop databases.

It is my understanding that the Attachment datatype was added to help with Microsoft's first attempt at as having Access publish to a Sharepoint server with a Web browser based front end.
