    Hi

    I'm using SharePoint 2007, I have a datasheet view for a list. when i try to edit an item, and upload an attachment. I recieve the following error:

    "An unexpected error has occurred. Your attachments cannot be added or removed." i tried it from different pc's same problem happens. btw, the IE version is 8.

    Has anyone encountered this issue? what's the solution?

    Is it possible that your site has hit its size quota or the attachment file type is disallowed?

    Hi EastNets,

     

    I tried locally but there is no problem with uploading attachments in datasheet view using IE 8. What’s the size and type of the file you want to upload? Can you upload it in the default view? Note that the default upload size limit is 50 MB. If you want to increase the size, follow this article. Try to upload another file which is a word file with small size to see if this will work.

     

    If this is not your issue, check the event viewer and ULS logs to see if there is any error message. Detailed steps to reproduce this problem will be appreciated.

     

    Let me know the result if possible, thanks.
