  Any suggestions on how to attach a file such as a word doc to a page, and for that docment to be stored in a database?

  You could probably stream the file into the database as binary data, but I'm not sure what you mean by "Attach" it to a page.

  Are you looking to upload a file to your database? or to serve a file from your database to the client, in which case you do the opposite and use Response.WriteFile() or Response.BinaryWrite() to send the file??

  Basicaly, I am trying to attaching a document (browsing facility) to an asp.net page. This doc along with other "textbox" fields of information will be inserted into a MS Access database when a submit button is pressed. Is this practical?

  YES, see the "upload a file to your database" link in my previous post.

  Code looks good! It is however for an SQL Server database. I have tried making edits to it to suit MS Access database but am having problems.
