Hi everyone,

We have a need to store many .jpg files that we will periodically access.
We want to access them from our Site form but to store them on this form
would probably not be efficient.  There will be approximately 10 .jpg files
per Site so I thought a child form would be a better storage area.

Initially my thought was to simply use a table field on the Site form
displaying the necessary fields from the child form.  On the child form
there would be an attachment pool.   There would be only one attachment per
child record because other identifying information goes with each .jpg
file.  So in the table field we'd see the attachment file, description name,
and view name for each child record associated with that Site.  Ten child
records, ten rows on the table field, ten .jpgs.

Problem is, you cannot select the attachment field (filename) in the table
field.  Yes, we can double click on the row and access the .jpg file
directly on the child record but of course that is not what they would
prefer.  They want to see the .jpg filenames, double click on them and
whalaa they are open directly from the Site record.  I thought it sounded
reasonable until I'm playing around with the concept right now.

I've looked through the documentation for some way to display this other
than a table field and if it's there I'm missing it.  Any suggestions on how
I can accomplish this?

I appreciate your help and ideas.  Let me know what other information I
could provide.

Thanks,
