    Your article was very helpful.

    To view them as thumbnails, the following seems to work both in computed text fields and view columns.

    for view columns I used one column per attachment (the only way I could get it not to fail with non-gif/jpg files), with a sequential number 1 through however many you want to show.

    I started with the formula from the Roundtable application http://roundtableweb.com (freeware version).

    For the form, I made the non-gif/jpg's null, together with the stuff from this article.

    Seems to work so far. . .
