Does the attachment appear in the side bar (“Attachments” tab on the left window side of Acroread)?

Hi there,
I had to rewrite the whole thing and that little icon is now appearing but it is still not working correctly.
If I am displaying contents of a text file and set description=”FileAttachment.txt” then I can open text file attachments by clicking a little icon in generated PDF, great. However, when I try to attach and open a Word Document I am getting the following error message:
“This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install…”.
When I update description=”Fileattachment.docx” then I can open Word documents only. This will not work of course as business users can attach any type of file so description=”FileAttachment.attachmenttype” must be dynamically generated to reflect attached file extension.

Is there a way of doing this please?

Thank you in advance.
