This works only if the user is running Netscape Navigator. It will not work with Microsoft
Internet Explore 3.0. This is not a deficiency in Domino; the original MSIE 3.0 and 3.01 don't
support web uploads. MSIE 3.02 has a file upload add-on that does support uploads.

Create an action hotspot (Create/Action/ActionHotspot) on the form with a formula of
@Command([EditInsertFileAttachment]). No field needs to be added; a field will be
automatically generated by Domino after the hotspot. Domino will create a Notes V2 style
attachment (attachment shows up at bottom of page after a horizontal rule) when the user does
this.

In Notes 4.6, you can create a FileUpload Web Element on the form.
