    Attachments - need help with multi image attachments

    Hi all, 

    A colleague of mine is trying to set up a form so that a user can attach a multi-image image file - is this possible?  We need to figure out a way to allow users to attach a file like the kind of image file that might be created and saved from fax software like RightFax (saves the image as a .TIF).

     Is this possible?  If so, do you have any details or suggestions? 

     The form is currently NOT web-enabled, NOT using Sharepoint (yet, but might be in the future) and we are NOT using .NET.

    Also need to figure out how to get a file without page breaks.

     Thanks,

    Jim

    Hi Jim,

    Not sure I really understand your question. InfoPath picture control (base 64) does supports TIF images. Just attach them. They will be converted into the BASE 64 format and appear in your form.

    Regarding page breaks. Are you trying to print an InfoPath form or attach long images?

     Patrick,

    Thanks for getting back to me.  We are trying to "trick" InfoPath into displaying a 5 page (or just more than one page) image.  Apparently, users can attach images to the InfoPath form, but if they attach an image file that contains multiple images (like a 5 page fax saved as a .TIF from Captaris RightFax), the only image that shows up in the printed InfoPath output is the first image (first page of the fax).  

    I looked online yesterday to see if there was a way to get into the code of a .TIF image saved from RightFax and somehow delete the page break codes, but I came up empty.
