Attaching files to an InfoPath form

D

Darren Fraser

I have to think this question has come up before. After you publish a form with a file attachment control to a SharePoint library, and a user opens a form, attaches a file, and saves the form to the library, what distinguishes that form from a form that doesn't have a file attachment? I believe this becomes a big issue if a library has multiple forms and a user needs to know which forms have files attached to them.

What leaps to mind is either a column in the library that somehow denotes an attached file or a change to the InfoPath form icon, such as a when a document is checked out in a SharePoint library.

Any suggestions or solutions?

Thanks,
Darren.

A simple workaround would be to create a yes/no column in the form library
named "Attachment" and update it every time you post a form, or program a
workflow to update it for you. It is annoying that there doesn't seem to be
a simpler way.
