Shawn,
 
There is a free utility available on ARS Wiki that will assist in
setting up and populating an Attachments form like you describe -
ARS_CreateAttachmentsForm.  http://arswiki.org/projects/dotnetutil

Subject: Re: Attachement Updation - File Contents Changed


** 
 Just a thought, but instead of attaching the files directly to the
request you are on, what if it was a child form, with a Submit-Only,
single field, attachment pool?
 
This way, to upload a new attachment, a new child record has to be
created, and you know who & when did it. This would also keep historical
records, you could compare the file at each and every stage/change that
took place, or if you don't need this, you could simply delete the
previous records. 
 
I've not worked through this completely, so I'm not sure what
complications might arise (though, immediately I can think of the fact
users will have to open the child record before they can get to the
attachment) .

        Hi Robert,
        
        Thanks for the information.
        
        Anyhow this solution is not working. Remedy stores the
attachments in
        the following way <number of characters>,<no of bytes>(i am
sure. but
        it might bytes),<filename with extenstion>. 
        
        I am not user this TR and DB can apply for attachement fields.
        
        can any one give me a alternative solution on this? Looking for
your
        inputs.
        
        Thanks,
        Meenakshinathan
