Hello,

no, as far as I know there´s no way to determine if the attachment control is clicked. There are only a 'Validating' and a 'Changed' event bound to the attachment control. You can´t control the file attachment process before the appropriate file is attached.

If the requirement are that the user has to fill out something other before he can attach a file I can recommend that you bound a conditional format rule using a section where you put in the file attachment control.

Regards,

No, I don't think so - by clicked, you mean to open the file, right? Is that what you are trying to ascertain?

The events are just changing, validating and changed.... I suppose you could try to leverage the context changed event (as long as this is not a browser form): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.infopath.formevents.contextchanged.aspx

I am using InfoPath 2010. Would there be any way to determine when the user has clicked the file attachment control by using the field bound to the control's events?

It isn't the file attachment control that has events - but the field bound to the control. What version of InfoPath are you using?

Does anyone know how to tap into any of the File Attachment control events? Here the only link I could find on msdn about the File Attachment control. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd958468(v=office.12).aspx Or if anyone has any more information on this control it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
