Well here is a work-a-round. In the source table create this formula URL field
URLRoot() & "up/" & dbid() & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e30/v0"
and change the e30 to eXX where XX is the fid of the field with the file attachment.
You can then test that in the source app. It should download the file when clicked.
Set the field properties for that file attachment field to check the box to allow public access (ie to view).
Then copy across that link with your Action.

- HemaRajendran14 years agoQrew TraineeHi Mark, I tried using this formula in my Source table(Table 1) to copy the attachment document from Table 1 to Table 2. Quickbase Action is creating a record in Table 2 but the URL/Attachment is not copied. Can you please help me with this.
TIA

Hema,
I think you misunderstood my post. That code will allow you give the user a link to display the file attachment by clicking a link on a different table from where the file attachment was loaded.It will not copy the actual file to another table.

------------------------------- HemaRajendran14 years agoQrew TraineeGot you! Thank you for the clarification.
I'm trying to move a set of file Attachments from Table 1 to its own (New) table( Document table). Is there a way to do it without downloading and attaching the Documents multiple times?
TIA
