It is a known issue that the attachment feature in custom form web part cannot be used. Currently, there are two workarounds for you:

Workaround 2

Note: You can use this workaround if attachment functionality is required for Display custom list form.

1. Open SharePoint Designer 2007. Go to File | Open Site and connect to SharePoint site.
2. Expand out Lists -> [List Name] -> open DispForm.aspx
3. Highlight normal list form by clicking on it. This will select the entire webpart.
4. Right-click on selected web part, and choose Web Part Properties…
5. Expand [+] Layout, check option for Hidden, click OK.
6. With web part still highlighted, hit the right-arrow key once. Hit Enter. This creates some whitespace to insert.

8. Select appropriate list or library, content type, and type of form to create. Click OK.

11. Put cursor in the right table cell of the new row, go to Code view, and paste the following code:

    <SharePoint:AttachmentsField ControlMode=”Display” FieldName=”Attachments” runat=”server” Visible=”true”/>
