    Merging Attachments

    My form is used for the recruiting process. In the form, interviewers attach their feedback, which are actually infopath forms as well. Since they are attached to the infopath form, is there a way to merge all of them together and create a summary report, short of opening up each attachment, saving them, and merging them?

    Hi Oleg,
    InfoPath has a Merge Forms under the Files menu. The support for aggregation is actually quite deep. You can do custom aggregation either via an XSLT or code. You'll want to look at the SDK sample for a good example of how to do both, but default merge should work in general (no code or XSLT required). However, it depends on your schema.

    Did you look at the Recruiting Accelerator that Microsoft did? I actually worked on that project.

    Hi, thank you for the reply.
    I'm not exactly sure of all the details in your reply...
    I tried to go to File-Merge Forms, but it does not give me the option of merging the forms I've attached to my infopath form...
    If I misunderstood your reply, can you forward me a link to an example? I am a novice.
