Saving Attachments on Infopath 2007 form on submit..

[dannyboy]

Hi All,

Being new to Infopath, i need some help !

I have created a form that a user can complete and also attach a file (word
doc).

What I would like to do is be able to save that attachment to a network
share when the user submits the form, which goes to a Sharepoint library.

Reason for not keeping on Sharepoint is due to space limitations..

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
dannyboy

Hi,
Use the following script code to submit the attachment to the document
library.
attachmentNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("xpath of the attachment
control").text;
var data = DecodeAttachment(attachmentNode.text); //decode the attachment
text and send that in to data variable.
try
{
// create a xmlhttp object
var oXmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP");
var url = "url of document library";

//put the document/attachment on SharePoint
oXmlHttp.Open("PUT", url, false);
oXmlHttp.Send(data);
}

Also go through the following link for more details.

Thanks for the reply Swathi..

Think I have not explained myself clear enough.

What I want to do is save the attachment to a Network Drive (like
\\server1\docs) when the user hits the submit button.

Thanks
