Custom E-Forms Attachment

[Jan]

Picking up on a thread from last June, I am trying to enable the "insert
file" feature on a custom e-form we need to use internally. The answer was
to "retain the large message body control of the form," but how do I do this?

Open the form in design mode. From the Field Chooser, drag the Notes or Message field to the page of your form where you want it to appear. Increment the version number and republish the form.

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm a novice. I'm not sure how to increment the
version number; I've read through some of your information on outlookcode.com
and I'm also not certain how I could have removed the main body message
control. The form is designed; the only thing missing is the ability to
attach a file.

The version number is on the (Properties) page in design mode, at upper right. You can use whatever versioning scheme you like, but you should always use something. Having a version number allows you to ask the user to go to Help | About This Form and tell you what version they're using. This is a useful first step in troubleshooting custom form problems.
