Linking documents to access

I created a very simple Access 'Log" database. The objective is to log all calls that are placed to our software developers on an Access Form.

FYI - Each log issue has a unique log number.

I would like to learn how I can link backup documents to each issue. For example, if issue # 1212 involves a print screen of an error message in Microsoft Word, I would like to learn of a way I can link that record's issue to that Word document, so that I may view it at will when looking over the details of the issue on my log form in the future.

I hope this makes sense but please let me know if I can clarify.

 
You can try adding another field in the table for that attachment. That field would be OLE Object Datatype. You can right-click on that field and add the file you want to be attached
