    Viewing Image attachment in a InfoPath 2007 form without download it to the local hard disk.

    I have InfoPath 2007 form where end-user only upload attachment - JPG file. May I know what should I do in order to make the JPG file display on the infopath form itself?

    This is because currently the infopath display a link to the attachment JPG file rather than letting end-user to view the JPG file together with the rest of the contents inside the InfoPath form.

     I thought the picture control has a setting for either a link or to show the image. Could it be that you've selected the control property to display the link only? Perhaps it's just a matter of changing the control properties to display the image instead.

    InfoPath 2007 client forms can display images, but browser forms cannot.  In 2010, both client and browser forms can use picture controls.  Are you working with a browser form?

     Thanks ErnestoM for the response.

     Actually, what I mean is that for example, a user have attached a JPG file and click save to save the InfoPath form. The next time, when the user open the form, the attachment will show the JPG file that he/she attached previous instead of the filename of the file being displayed.

    If I am not wrong, you are referring to the following picture that you can set the option "Show file placeholder" or "Specify default file", which is not what I am looking for.

     Thank Jimmy for the response.

    Actually, I am working on a browser InfoPath 2007 form. May I know what you mean by InfoPath 2007 client forms can display images because I would like to hear how to show the attachment image after someone have attached a image into the form.
