Hello,

I attended one of the Increase Productivity with 10 seminars a couple months back.

One of the demos was showing how you can attach movies and multiple images to a single feature.

It was my understanding that these went into a field/column for that record/row/feature.

Is that with an attachment?  Or can you have multiple blob type columns in your tables now?  And if you are loading a movie file into the blob field/column, do you have to have 3rd party software like I read in antoher help section? 

I belive in 9.3.1 and earlier, you could only add one blob field/column per record.  I was wondering if that limitation was removed with 10.

Hello Angela

Yes this is about the new attachments functionality at ArcGIS 10, which is implemented as a 1:M relationship class to a table with a single BLOB column for the attachments.  The attachments table has a field storing the MIME type for the attached data, so whichever application is registered on your machine for the MIME type will be used to open any attachment.

Hello,

Further to this, does anybody know if it is possible to add attachments to an ArcSDE 9.2 geodatabase? 
When I right click on a newly created (versioned) ArcSDE feature class through ArcCatalog the 'Create Attachments' option isn't available.

Thanks
Craig
