Formula to insert attachment

You can use the following formula to insert an attachment:

=HYPERLINK("[attachment:" & [Attachment Field] & "]")

Where:

• [Attachment Field] is the field that contains the attachment information (e.g. "Attachment").
• HYPERLINK is a Word function that creates a hyperlink to the attachment.

For example, if your attachment field is named "Attachment", you can use the following formula:

=HYPERLINK("[attachment:" & [Attachment] & "]")

This will insert a hyperlink to the attachment file. When the recipient clicks on the hyperlink, the attachment will be downloaded.

Note: The attachment field must be a text field that contains the file path and name of the attachment.
