Perhaps a click event for the File Attachment control? I know I could do this by adding a new button and using the click button event, but again, I don't want to add any additional UI elements.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/72044.aspxMon, 14 Nov 2011 19:28:04 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:72044meyerdenney0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/72044.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=72044Thank you for your suggestion. It is a nice work around and I may have to end up using it. Ideally I don't want to make any UI changes, but if there is no way to modify the File Attachment Control so that "Open File" is one of the options it provides, then I may have to create a dynamic hyperlink.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/71995.aspxSat, 12 Nov 2011 09:40:37 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:71995crim10https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/71995.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=71995Don't know if it would support your solution, but can you come around this issue by creating a dynamic hyperlink with the text "Open" that is linked to a datasource field referring to the file?https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/71992.aspxSat, 12 Nov 2011 00:23:04 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:71992meyerdenney0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/71992.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=71992I would like to open an attachment directly from an InfoPath form, if possible. I notice when viewing an InfoPath form in a web browser, I click the blue paperclip attachment icon, I am given three options—Attach, Download, and Remove (see screen shot http://i.imgur.com/0pEnn.png). Yet when I open an InfoPath form in InfoPath's Preview environment, I get more options—Attach, Open, Save As, and Remove (see screen shot http://i.imgur.com/DkTqc.png). Is there anyway to get this "Open" option available in the web browser?
