Dwayne,

One approach is to keep the attachments in a separate form (one form
could be used for the entire application).  Then on the form(s) where
you want to allows users to add and view add a table field that points
to the attachments form.  This is how we handle it here.

If you want to go this route, each record in the attachment form would
contain one attachment field with unlimited size.  The link back to a
ticket would be: FormName=Schema And RecordEntryID=RequestID.  You could
also add: Server=Server.

The file size limit, ability to change or delete, permissions, etc.
would be up to you, all controlled by your workflow.  

HTH

Subject: Making an attachment field read-only

Greetings everyone,

We want to create a "Diary" attachment field, which means that once
you've attached a document you can't delete or change it.

I don't see the attachment fields in the field list for the active link
"Change Field" action. Is there any way you can dynamically make an
attachment field read-only?
