You can place the file on a server or some sharing site and then post a link to it.

If you tell me the kind of problem I might look at it... PMs do work. Posting to the forum in general is not something I would do, personally.

I don't think there is a way to do that but I'm not sure. I don't see the option anywhere so you might have to load it to a server like Dropbox. What did you have in mind?

thanks, man - - you answered my "?". I was going to get in to the discussion with the guy who was asking about ".xml" files (DP -> SIbelius), but I was going to need to attach PDF's to my comments and was just wondering whether I could do that directly, or needed to off-load them to something like Dropbox. And - as always! - you've answered my "?"!
Thanks again
