Infopath Forms and SharePoint 2007

[kwalsh]

I have created a web-based form in InfoPath 2007 and have saved it to a form
library on SharePoint 2007.

I have used the "File Attachment" control for the end user to attach files.
However, when I submit the form, the file that was attached is not included
in the email. The form information is emailed, but the attachment stays with
the original form in the SP form library. I need to be able to send the
attachments with the email.

Is there a way to get the file attachments emailed along with the contents
of the form?

Any suggestions are very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Kristine Walsh

I am not trying to send the form as an attachment. I am trying to send the
attachment that is attached to the "File Attachment" control. The form is an
incident report and attached to the form the user can upload notes and
pictures. I want those uploaded items to be emailed when they hit the submit
button.

Do you have a solution for that?

I don't believe InfoPath has the ability to only send the attachement. I
think you will need to write some code to extract the attachement and send
it. However, I will take a closer look and see if this functionality is
supported.

Don,

Any help you can give me would be great! I've been searching for a few days
now for a resolution and haven't found one yet.

Thanks!

Hi Kristine,

It does not appear that InfoPath has this functionality.

Here is some info I recommend to another user who wants to do something with
attachments:
If you work flow process allows using code you could write something that
did an XPath to the field where the attachement is stored, pull it out, then
convert from base 64.
