All GroupWise items you send or receive can include attachments of any file type (for example, text, audio, image, video, and application). For this feature to work, your browser must support attachments.
Use Attach File to send one or more files to other users. You can attach a file that exists on your hard disk, diskette, or network drive. The recipients can open the attached file, save it, view it, or print it. If you change the attached file after you have sent it, the recipients do not see the changes.
This section contains the following topics:
You can attach one or more files to an item to send to other users. For example, you might want to send an expense report to another user or attach an agenda to an appointment. For you to attach files to an item, your browser must support attachments.
When you view an attached file, GroupWise WebAccess attempts to convert the file to HTML and display it in your browser. If GroupWise WebAccess cannot convert the file, you can try to have your browser display the file. Depending on how your browser is configured to handle the file, the browser might display the file, launch an application to view the file in its native format, or save the file.
When you open an attached file, the file is opened in your browser in its native format if your browser supports the file format and if your browser is set up with the correct association for the file format. In addition, you might be able to edit the file if you have the appropriate plug-in (for example, the MSWord plug-in allows you to edit a .doc file in the browser). If you try to open a file with a format that is not supported in your browser or that does not have an association in your browser, you are prompted to save the file to disk.
You can save attachments in their native format.

Click the tab, then browse to and select the file or files you want to send.
To remove an attached file, click the attachment, then click .
Click on the toolbar.
Moving or deleting a file on a disk or network drive does not affect a file you've attached to an item and sent.
If you delete an attached file, it is not erased from disk or network drive; it is simply removed from the attachment list.
If you receive an attached file in an e-mail message, you can manage the attachment in one of the following ways:
allows you to see the attachment in a file rendering view. The file is displayed in a new GroupWise window.
allows you to open the attachment in the specified application. If the file’s type hasn’t previously been associated with a specific application, you can choose the application from the resulting pop-up window.
allows you to specify where to save the attached file. You can save it to your hard disk, diskette, or network drive.
