I honestly don't know. You can also try to install "File Manager HD (honeycomb)" which might give you more options for an attachment and also the ability to find the file manaully. As well, that program can copy programs to windows shares which might be just what you need.

Take care

I just installed the File manager HD and it works like a charm.. shows all files and lets you choose where to put them.. a lot more decorative than the Android app too.

I use that for getting files to and from my NAS all the time without having to root.

Sometimes when I plug into my PC, I have to unplug-replug once or twice to get the tab to show up as a device. I really hate that Kies program that Samsung utilizes. I had an Asus tab for 2 weeks, and it was plug-and-play with PC and Mac.

File Manager HD worked well enough. Iwas able to to email the file. Unfortumately, the file is too big and and is hung in the outbox.

Dropbox ftw. Dropbox has single handedly made getting document files shared between all my comouters so easy. I would recommend it to anyone.Use the link in my signature if you need an account.
