infopath browse dialog doesn't show zip files

[Lucio - Milano]

Hi all,
I've developed an infopath form where you can attach multiple files.
when activating the control to attach the file, most of the times I can see
all files in a directory except zipped archives.
The form itself is published on a server W2003R2 running sharepoint services
and infopath is version 2003 SP2.
Any idea to solve the matter?
P.s.... if you browse to the folder location and type the exact zip filename
the file itself is correctly attached to the form!

The file attachment control allows you to specify which file extensions are allowed. Perhaps .ZIP has been excluded?

Greg,
thanks for responding....
Yes, I know that the attach control permits you to specify which file
extension you can attach... I've set no limitations neither specified any
kind of extension.
The problem is that sometime you can see the files and sometime you can't.
Instead if you browse to the directory containig them and just type the file
name (without actually seeing it in the browser) the file is correctly
attached to the form.
It is something weired but really cannot figure out what's wrong
