    Email data connections - file attachment control

    I'm building a form that gives users the ability to add multiple files via the file attachment control in a repeating section (it's a form for an insurance company that allows users to upload images of damaged vehicles, etc.). They need the ability email the form to users(s) which is working correctly. However, what I'd like to do is have the attachments included in the email to the user. When the form is emailed, the files are shown just in the form, but you cannot open them.

    Is the ability to include the file attachments in an email a limitation of the software?

    Thank you in advance,

    Chris

    Hi Chris.

    You can do this but it would require code to start and configure the email, code to extract each attachment from the form, and then attach each one to the email.

    This would require a full trust form.
