All, I have a InfoPath File Attachment Control Question:
I would like to know if you have any ideas how I could solve this problem.
Thank you for your help.
Hello Welcome to the Forums,
By default it will open attachment to any user. Do you have any conditional formatting for that control?
How you are sending the forms from User A to User B? Are you using SharePoint?
Hi,
I have tried this out and it is working fine for me. Once you check any conditional formatting is there on the control as shiva said.
I am using Moss 2007 and Infopath 2007. When I attach a word document or a excel spreadsheet to a infopath form, User B's attachment only opens as "read only". I do not have any conditional formatting for the control. I submit the infopath form to a sharepoint library. Thank you for any suggestions.
Hello,
Sometimes InfoPath attachment control behavior is different. Can you remove once that attachment control from InfoPath UI and added it agin from datasource. Then you will get editable for User B.
The behavior you describe is normal. When a user opens a document from an InfoPath form, it is stored in a temp file so that the relevant application can open it. The application opening the file does not have the ability to save the file back into the form, so the only solution is to do what you already figured out: save the file locally and re-attach it.
