Chad,
thanks for the idea. I like the fact that it makes it simple, my favorite word. However, in our case it won't work. We have a number of places in our application where the associated scanned documents are attached. Work orders, invoices, vehicle images etc. and the user needs to be able to bring up the docs and add more while in that screen while viewing the RO, invoice, etc.
