OK - But that isn't really what I want. I want a field in a module that 
contains one attachment, a bit like the way the image thing works for 
Products, or the more accurately the image on a Contact for example (UI 
Type 69).

Well, I have tried this and as I said before. The popup opened and I 
could select a document but on closing/saving that field remains empty 
and nothing is written to the db. (This is using setRelatedModules() not 
setRelatedList().

I refer back to the subject of this message ;-) and to the many others 
on the forums. This really shouldn't be so hard. vtlib is great and 
makes it relatively easy to create new modules, but there is no obvious 
way to create a field to take an attachment or, more specifically an image.

I will examine the code in the Contact module to see if I can understand 
how it is managing to do it although giving it a quick scan, it does 
look essentially the same as in the other modules...

Thanks

Al
