# Why can't I attach a file in my event response?

## Symptom

Why can't I attach a file in my event response?

## Resolution

Follow the below steps if you cannot find the option to attach a file in your response:

1. Ensure you are on the **Submit Response** step of the checklist, if not please click on that step.
2. Scroll to the question within the event that requires an attachment as an answer and click the **Attach a File** link to the right of the question.

If you do not see the **Attach a File** option across from the question and followed step 1 above, this means your buyer has not made a file the answer type for the question. You can follow the below as alternative options to attach your file:

- Click **Compose Message**, notify your buyer through the message that it is the file for the corresponding question and click **Attach a File** and then send the message.
- Contact your buyer to inform them that there is not option to attach the file if the compose message function is closed as well.

**Additional Information**

If you need to attach multiple files within a single response field, please refer to [How do I create a ZIP file in order to attach multiple documents at once?.](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/153360) The created ZIP file size should not exceed 100MB.
