Hi Larry -
First off, make sure you're in the UPLOAD manager, not download. Here are the exact steps to attach a file, just to be sure we're on the same page:
1. When composing a message, click the "Attachments" button in the toolbar, the one with the paper clip. (Depending on your setup, you may need to click "Go Advanced" to get to the full-featured editor if you're just using a quick reply.)
2. This brings up the upload manager.
3. Click the "Add Files" button in the upper right, then click "Select Files" and browse your computer for the file you want to add.
4. Once you've chosen a file, click the "Upload Files" button to load it to the storage area associated with your forum account.
5. Once this is finished, the file should appear in the "Attachments" window at the bottom of the Upload Manager. If not, this is when you'd drag it from the list of files you've uploaded into the attachments box, otherwise, there's no drag and drop necessary.
6. Click "Done."
Let me know if this helps. If not, feel free to email me the file and I'll just go ahead and attach it to the original message:

Thanks -
