Multiple Hyperlinks in a Single Field

I am wondering if it is possible to have multiple hyperlinks in a single
field. I'd like to be able to attach multiple seperate documents to an entry
so that it is accessable (no pun intended) from a form. Is it possible?

Not in a field directly. I mean, you can create some fancy parsing that
takes text, finds a separator, etc, but that's more work than it's worth.

Here's what you do instead:
Create a relationship between an Entry and Documents. Have a sub table hold
as many documents per entry as you would like.

Now use that Table as a subform to the Entry Form.

Thank you that is what I was afraid of. I don't think that will work for me
though as I've got people that are still struggling with the idea that you
have to hit control-enter to start a new line in a memo field and the
incomming files probably will be coming faster than I can put them into a
database.

Thanks much though :)

Are you using a form for entry? (You should be)

If so, in the field properties you can set what enter does including
creating a new line in the field so that the user doesn't need to hit
CTL-Enter for a new line.

Also, with a form, the subform option that Troy detailed works VERY easily
and IS the proper method.

I am interested in your answer but am lacking in some understanding of it. I
am a little new to access and only know the basics. If you could explain this
in a little more detail for me, as I am in need of this answer also.

Thanks,
