Question

I need to make a table such that the user can add attachment links to one of the fields. Is there a way to allow the user to browse through a folder and create a link to the attachment in MS Access? This will solve the size problem I am facing.

Answer 1

Have a look at Application.FileDialog:

Sub ShowFileDialog()
    Dim dlgOpen As FileDialog
    Set dlgOpen = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
    With dlgOpen
        .AllowMultiSelect = True
        ''Start in
        .InitialFileName = "Z:\docs\"
        .Show
    End With
End Sub
