Link to file itself

Question

I have a table of files (pdfs), and I am trying to create a link to the file itself. I can create a link to the record entry without issue, but is there a way to create a link where it launches to the pdf (file attachment field) itself?

EDit: Found this on another thread but cant get it to work. RIght now it says page unrecognizable.

URLRoot() & "up/" & "db/xxxxxxxxx?" & "/a/r" & "63" & "/e7/v0"

WHere 63 is record if and 7 is fid

Try this formatURLRoot() &amp; "up/" &amp; Dbid() &amp; "/a/r" &amp; [Record ID#] &amp; "/e99/v0"Replace 99 with your field ID which has the file attachment.The local PC settings will determine if the PDF will open or download.------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

I edit my post right when you responded. I ended up getting it to work using this (what you suggested essentially):

URLRoot() & "up/" & [_DBID_TABLENAME] & "/a/r" & "63" & "/e7/v0"

Do you know why what I edited in my original post didnt work? I'm thinking maybe the '?' or something?
