"No problem at all. I understand completely, I just did some testing to avoid my work :)
I got the same results as you with ARS 7.5 p1. I included the fields that I wanted in the Notify action, including one attachment field. It sent the dynamic attachments no problem. Following my earlier suggestion of adding the attachment field to the HTIML template is an unnecessary step. It ended up including "BSM_Interoperability_7.5.pdf (see attachment )" in the message body where I placed the attachment field tag (#$$AttPL01_Fld01$$#) in addition to including the attachment "BSM_Interoperability_7.5.pdf".
