Also, This will only work if the name of the file changes, I'm not looking to see if the data inside of the attachment has changed...

Then if the user tried to overwrite this attachment, I was able to check if tmpfield = new attachment, if it did not match then I would not let them overwrite the field. I would make the user delete the attachment first, click on save and then add a new attachment. Then I would fire a push fields in my filter if (NOT ( 'TR.First Attachment' = $NULL$ )) AND ( 'First Attachment' != 'DB.First Attachment'). (this is where you could send an email) Other than using buttons as well like Dave said, there is no easy way to capture an "overwrite" of an attachment. I'm not sure why, but it's a pain!

( Because Attachments in ARS are a special thing when compared to the other ARS data types.) There is an attachment Pool field named What on this form? How many attachment fields are in this pool and what are their names? Is it possible that your filter it trying to test for a data change in the Attachment Pool instead of the correct attachment field? -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
