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.

Thanks 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!
