Hello &nbsp;- one of my Outlook 365 / 2016 users is having a problem when inserting attachements into a new email - her SEARCH field is never active. &nbsp;When attaching a file, you should be able to search for a file and then attach it - her SEARCH field is always greyed out and not active. &nbsp;This happens whether set to a local drive or network drive. &nbsp;Is this a bug with Microsoft? &nbsp;She's on Windows 10 Ver 2018, on a Surface Pro tablet, using Outlook 2016 / 365. &nbsp;<br />

Hello  - one of my Outlook 365 / 2016 users is having a problem when inserting attachements into a new email - her SEARCH field is never active.  When attaching a file, you should be able to search for a file and then attach it - her SEARCH field is always greyed out and not active.  This happens whether set to a local drive or network drive.  Is this a bug with Microsoft?  She's on Windows 10 Ver 2018, on a Surface Pro tablet, using Outlook 2016 / 365.  

Thanks for your help.
