I'm trying to make the linking of files into container fields as user-friendly as possible, so I'm making an "Add Attachment" button and script. The problem is that I can't seem to get the Insert Object script step to prompt the user to enter the filename. It wants the filename entered into the script in advance. Does anyone know a way to get the script to open up the Insert Object dialog box for the user?

do u know what files types are going to be atteched?

The types of files vary. Powerpoint presentations, Word documents, JPEG images, etc.

Take care!
