The error you're describing sounds like a separate issue. You should be able to hide/unhide, set field, change field without getting an error message.
In the example below the character field would be display-only with Disable Change Flag box checked. If you have a few minutes, try creating a new form with which to test. Add the attachment field, the character field and the button. Then create one active-link that either makes the attachment 'read-only' or updatable. If you can get this to work on your test form then you should be able to make it work on your current form.

(UNCLASSIFIED) I tried that and for some reason the error message fires if I change any field and try to save the request even if I do not touch the attachment field. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of FRANK, GORDON CTR DISA JSSC Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 1:00 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Can An Attachment Field Be Made Read Only?

Once a file is attached I want to prevent anyone from changing or deleting the attachment. I would like them to be able to view the attached file. I thought this would be simple using the Change Field action and making it Read Only. Unfortunately that option is not available for that type of field. I know I can hide the field but I would prefer if it was made read only. Is this possible?
