I have created a form. Howver I also require recipients of the form to open an attached excel spreadsheet from one page.
 
The excel spreadsheet attributes enable all editing.
 
When I attach the excel spreadsheet to my form it automatically becomes read-only - I want to enable users who receive the form to input data into the excel spreadsheet, save it and return to me.
 
Can you help me understand how to disable read-only attributes.

Dynamic updating of file attachments is not available in Acrobat. Your users need to save the file attachment to their hard drive and reattach the file after editing it.
