Newsgroups like this one will not accept attachments. Text only. If you want
to send someone a file, you'll have to do so via their e-mail.

You appear to be posting at www.excelforum.com- that site probably has
an FAQ or Help section that should explain a) if it is allowed, and b)
how to do it.

An alternative is to provide a link to an internet-accessible copy of the
file. If you don't have personal web site available, you could consider
using www.yousendit.com - upload it to them, email it to yourself, and the
use the link they provide to the file in your posting.
