We are experiencing some problems in attaching a Microsoft
Excel file to a message on our forum. The file size is approx.
2.2MB and I have set the file attachment size on the forum
to be 10MB. The Excel file does contain macros which may very
well be a part of our problem. Anyhow, when I browse and attempt
to upload the file, it does not appear in my message once the
upload completes. I can ZIP the file and that works, I can
create a new, blank XLS file and that works. For some reason
this particular file does not.
Are there any issues relating to XLS files when trying to attach
them to a message in FUD Forum?

PHP has it's own file upload limit that cannot be exceeded by the forums upload limit. The default limit for file uploads in php in 2 megs. So you either need to increase that limit or compress the file you are trying to upload.

Would this change need to happen in MySQL or at the
hosting company?
On a similar note, we found a work around for the file
size limitation by first uploading a smaller file, then
replacing it on the server with the larger version. Now
we need to edit the file size text next to the attachment
in FUD Forum. Is this something that can be edited directly
in the forum or do we need to do so in MySQL?
