Microsoft office / access/ task list template/ attach attachments not working

Question

So I go to Access and open the Task list folder/template.... I in-put some information and then click the open tab to access the next folder that pops up 

to allow you to in-put more pertinent information and then click on the button that says " remove or attach an Attachment"  nothing happens.  So I un-installed office and re-installed it and still nothing happens.  Any ideas?  I need this function to work...

Hi vls1231:

Do this:

1. Open your Access Task Management applet. I hate macros and this applet is purely run by macros. The code is difficult to follow. That said...
2. Now go to the form "Task List" which has the nonfunctioning "Add or Remove Attachments." Select the "On Click" event's embedded macro event.

3. Looking at the code, you'll see that the object that it's pointing to is missing. Microsoft forgot to finish putting in all the elements of this applet! Maybe one of the Microsoft guys or the MVPs can report this bug to Microsoft.

4. Albeit, you can add an attachment if you open up the email:

5. Alternatively, you can always use VBA's SendObject function to send emails with attachments. See this URL on how to do that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33918482/ms-access-send-email-with-report-as-attachment/33918657
