hi, I have searched everywhere for a solution to find a way to do what I need, I have found some similar things but nothing that meets my needs. I’m trying to use a field in Airtable set as an attachment field that contains a PDF file. I wish I could invoke it in the app linked to another airtable field. let me explain, I have a series of coluns with Name, Surname, date of birth, place of birth and pdf file created from these data. I would like to be able, by entering the surname, to view the corresponding pdf file. Thanks for the advice you can give me.

Welcome back.

Your issue is certainly doable but very difficult to test without access to your Airtable table. If you can share your table or create a table similar in structure with sample data to share then others in the community can/may help.

Check this. You might need to reconnect the table in the project.

Thank you very much, you always learn a lot from you. But what I would like to do is to have the user enter his name and then look for the corresponding file from there. enter the name in a text input.

If all OK then please mark it solved and remove the share connection to your Airtable table. I will then go ahead and delete the project from my side.
