    Infopath and Libraries

    Hello, I have another question if that’s ok.... Let me see if I explain it right so bear with me..... Objective: Is to create a library where other teams can upload SOP's and Process documentation for my team to review to make sure it’s in the correct format. So I created a form in InfoPath which will collect certain data and that runs certain workflows for email notices, I choose InfoPath to collect this information because A) I have worked in InfoPath a lot and love the functionality I want some fields to remain hidden or disabled until a certain dropdown field option has been chosen. This InfoPath form is tied to a List Library (which I am not thrilled about) I found the only way to upload a document to this library is through the “attachment” function/field. Then I found out that List Libraries you can’t do a check in/out and version control is limited will only capture changes done to the form data not the actual word documents attached. So I am thinking I need to change over to the document library so I can have the check in/out and versioning control that I want but then I will lose my InfoPath form with the functionality that I like. Is there any way to still use my InfoPath form with the document library? V/R Wendy

    No - I'm afraid not. You could create a blank InfoPath form and include a file attachment control (submitting the InfoPath form to a form library) but if the attachments will be very large, your form not perform very well.....
