Default How do I attach a file in a message created from templates

I have created a message template in outlook through the 'Publish Form' route
.. The messag has an excel file attached . Since the file contains different
information every time , I did not include the attachment in the template .

When I am trying to compose a message by retrieving the template ( i.i
retrieve the published form ) , the screen does not give me an option to
attach a file . The attch file button , normally displayed is inactive .
Could somebody help to solve this please ?t hanks

You must add the Message field back to the custom form. Only then will the Insert File command be available.

It does not seem to work. When I drag the message field into the form , I get
a message saying that 'control already exists'. The foem already has a tab
labeled 'message' at the top

Tab names are irrelevant. You can change them to anything you want.

What's relevant is whether the Message/Notes control exists on the form, on a visible page. If it does, users will be able to add attachments. If not, they can't. It's really that simple.

Given your symptoms, I'd be checking to see if that control is present but only on a hidden page.
