Has anyone been able to implement this within QuickBase to work with a button action?

Outfits like Juiced could be hired to do this, but just to make you aware that it's easy to make a link which behaves like a file down load and which can be referenced by lookups or just a formula field. So the actually file is not loaded twice, but you have a link which behaves as a file attachment field for viewing.

- HectorAubert5 years agoQrew TraineeThanks Mark. I had seen this option in a separate post. At first, I dismissed it as an option, but then I had an "Aha" moment and figured out how to make it work for my use case. I didn't want users to always have access to download the file. So, I created form rules to hide/show the download button (lookup field from parent table) at certain step in the workflow. Works great!
Thanks again!

------------------------------- MarkShnier__You5 years agoQrew LegendTry this as a Rich Text formula field on the table where the file is attached.
"<a href='"& URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e7/v0' target='_blank' >" & [File] & "</a>"
Replace e7 with eX where X is the fid of the field where the file is attached. Replace [File] with the field name of the file attachment field.
The versions above would open in a new window if the attachment was an image
You can also try it like this
"<a href='"& URLRoot() & "up/" & Dbid() & "/a/r" & [Record ID#] & "/e7/v0>" & [File] & "</a>"
