Not tested but my notes say that this will work. Can you post back with your working code when it works?

URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&_fid_9="
& "&delfile_fid_9=1"
// & "&apptoken=<your apptoken>"

// obviously 9 would be replaced with the field ID of your file attachment field.

The complete code would be thisvar text URL = URLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; dbid() &amp; "?act=API_EditRecord&amp;rid=" &amp; [Record ID#]&amp; "&amp;_fid_9="&amp; "&amp;delfile_fid_9=1";"javascript:" &amp;"$.get('" &amp; $URL &amp; "',function(){" &amp;"location.reload(true);" &amp;"});" &amp; "void(0);"------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------

Hmm, this would work great but I'd require some additional tweaking:

1. When regarding the removal, i mean as though an individual uploaded the wrong file, saw the issue, and instead of clicking upload file and hitting cancel, is there a way to get create a button which just removes all "Pending" file attachments

2. Don't want to expose the API token to the end user at this time.
