Another options is to use an attachments form and not use an attachment field directly on the form but a table that allows you to interact with the attachment record. Now the attachment has its own record you have complete control over the read/write security of the file using row level permissions and workflow.
Stephen Heider created a attachments form and a utility that will add your attachments from the original form to the new attachments form (I don't remember if it deletes the attachment from the original form or just copies it). Check out the ARS_CreateAttachmentsForm application in the downloads section on http://arswiki.org/projects/dotnetutil.

( That by the way: the display property is not a real security feature.) The join could inherit the Assignee from Form B as the Assignee for the join and the "Assignee" group could be granted change access to the field. ( Hope that makes sense. Hope that Helps) -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap.... Pick two.
