Is it possible to have more than one file stored per record?
For example.
Lets say you have a customer database and you want to store all the docuents related to a particular customer.
test.doc

file.doc

contract.rtf

agreement.pdf
etc...

You can add as many OLE Object fields to database table as you need.

You can add as many OLE Object fields to database table as you need.


But is there a way to get it to group the filenames in a list. Lets say you stored 10 files, since each one needs it's on field for the record you end up with a crazy list screen. There's no way to have more than one file stored per record in a single OLE field? (or some other way to group the list of files?)

Kevin,
it's not possible to store multiple files in one field however you can display a list of files in one table cell. Just proceed to the List page in Visual Editor and drag all fields to the same column.
