Hi Jason,

>My question is what data type should I be using for the field Document_image? This is the field that will display the document for the user.

If you really want to store the document in there, it would be a general field. I personally avoid them, since you have little control over them and you can't get a document out of the general field.

I would store only the path and name of the document and use OLE automation or ShellExecute to launch the appropriate application. Or use a binary memo field and copy the file into this memo. When the user wants to add or view it, just copy it back into a temporary file and display that one.
