Overview In MS Access 2007 Microsoft has introduced a new data type called attachments. Many types of files can be stored in a column which has the attachment data type. Someone can add bitmap files, jpg files, sound files, word documents, etc. to a column without increasing the size of the database. However, these objects will be run by the appropriate executable programs for these attachments when they are called to do so. The Access project which is now supported again in Access 2007 does not support the attachment data type since the underlying database does not. This paper shows an example of creating a table with a column which has the new data type, attachments.
