Default Attachment data type - not working in form

Delete the attached table in the front end.
Compact.
The attach the table again.

Attachments are multi-valued fields, and use a super-hidden link table
that's not visible anywhere in the database. The link data doesn't have this
super-hidden table linked. Destroying the link, and then linking it again
should solve the problem.

I haven't use the attachement data type before.

I set up a field in my BE tables as an attachment data type. I placed this
field in my FE form, but when I right click on the field the "Manage
Attachments" and all other options on the shortcut menu are greyed out.
Any ideas?
