I can access the external databases (not AR SYSTEM) using View Forms. The plans is to build workflow and then migrate some of the data. How can I best solve attachments? I understand that field type 'image' is not support by view forms. external databases uses the same field format 'image' as AR System. It should be possible to get these attachments by direct SQL?
