I went ahead and started from scratch again and have it working on a basic level. I am not sure if or why this would matter, but I built all of my tables and sections first this time and then added my attachment control first (after of course opening and saving a blank form and injecting it). I have kept the attachment as first in my data sources. I then set about adding all of my other controls while testing it each time for continued function... so far, so good.
Now I would just like it to function like the demo video which is showing qRules in action with DBXL rather that SharePoint. I do not like the look of how it functions on a form being used for sharepoint at this time. Maybe I am doing something wrong but here us what I get after clicking the button to send it to SharePoint:
<The Click here to attach a file control is still visible, which is fine because I want it to remain for adding more files>
Q Rules Link: <big long crazy hyperlink>
Q Rules Filename: <Samebig long crazy hyperlink>
What I want is for there to be a hyperlink with just the file name/type showing just like in the demo. There also came the question for how to organize the file attachments once they get sent to the portal. Would it be possible to have the control send the attachments to a folder in the document library that is created and associated to the form by it own unique identifier/name? Meaning the form gets it's name from a field in the form and all of the attachments are sent to a folder likewise generated the same way rather than just dumping them into a document library with no way of associating all of the files to specific forms. This is particularly an issue when considering portability or backing them up.

PS: You were incorrect about the control not working in preview mode... it works just fine.
UPDATE: I used conditional formating to hide the Attachment control and the duplicate hyperlink. I also finally got the repeating control to work for multiple attachments. My only complaint at this point is the Date/Time stamp added to the from of the files. Would it at least be possible to dynamically select the original file name for the text displayed for the hyperlink?
Other than that we could use some much better instructions and examples of how to set this up, particularly for SharePoint. Perhaps if I have time I will make an example of how I got it to work and resolutions to my obtacles. But thanks for the awesome tool! I will work hard to outgrow it and explore your other solutions.
