add Attachments related list to Event edit visualforce page
I have a visualforce page which overrides the Task and Events Edit page.
The business requested I add Attachments to this page, so I added the related list to the standard view page - but add attachment button not visible.
I read into the situation and discovered that the button is only visible in Edit mode, so I also added it to my visualforce edit page ( <apex:relatedlist list="Attachments" />) - but again the add attachment button is not visible.
What do I need to do so that the add attachment button is visible on my edit task visualforce page?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I hope you are referring here to standard 'Notes & Attachments' related list to the object.
Attachmentrs inherits permissions from the related object. Example - In case a user has "Read/Write" permissions on the Account, he/she will be able to modify the note/attachments. Similarly, if the user has "Read Only" permissions on the Account, he/she will only be able to read the notes/attachments and not add new/modify existing ones.
Hope the above clarifies what you were looking for.
Thanks for replying. Yes, it is the standard 'Notes & Attachments' related list.
I understand about attachments inheriting permissions from the related object. As the related object is Tasks/Events, this too inherits permission from the related object.
I am testing this as System Admin, and therefore have read/write permission to all objects. However the add attachments button is not on the related list.
When I remove the Visualforce override of the edit button and switch back to standard page layout the 'add attachments' button is present. But it is not on my visualforce page.
I need to understand why i cannot see it in visualforce but can on standard layout. Thanks
