Every time I try to filter the table or create a filter in a query, the “filter” controls go grey and are unselectable.
Is there any way I can isolate the records without attachments ?”
A: The Filter selections are disabled in Datasheet view, but if you switch to Design view, you can enter a criterion of Is Null for the Attachment field, to filter for just the records with nothing stored in the Attachments field.
