Instead of selecting just one instance of the attachment with SelectSingleNode(), you need to select all of them using Select() and then iterate through them. Alternatively, you could use the SaveToSharePoint command in qRules, that makes saving out attachments easy as pie.

Hey, Deejay. Did you ever find a solution to this? It describes exactly what I am trying to do and the problems I've encountered.

Thanks,

File Attachment Control in Repeating Section

deejay_s41 — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:55:13 GMT

I have an InfoPath 2007 form with a File Attachment control within a repeating section and a save button outside of the repeating section. When an attachment is added, the save button can be use to save the attachment to a SharePoint document library. However, when the repeating section is used, the save button only saves the first attachment and none of the attachments that have been created with the repeating section.

Is there any way to save the other attachments that have been created with the repeating section? Below is my code.

public void ScoutTestSubmit_Clicked(object sender, ClickedEventArgs e)
        {

     // Retrieve the value of the attachment in the InfoPath form
            XPathNavigator ipFormNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
            XPathNavigator nodeNav = ipFormNav.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Scout_Test_Report/my:Scout_Test_Attach_Document_Group/my:Scout_Test_Attach_Document_Section/my:Scout_Test_Attach_Document", NamespaceManager);

            string attachmentValue = string.Empty;

     // Get the value of Well Connect Fields
            string formNumberUpdate = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:MeterConnectDateTimeValue", NamespaceManager).Value;
            string formSectionUpdates = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:MeterConnectCurrentFormSectionWF", NamespaceManager).Value;

          if (nodeNav != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(nodeNav.Value))
            {
                attachmentValue = nodeNav.Value;

     // Decode the InfoPath file attachment
                InfoPathAttachmentDecoder dec = new InfoPathAttachmentDecoder(attachmentValue);
                string fileName = dec.Filename;
                byte[] data = dec.DecodedAttachment;

    // Add the file to a document library
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite(serverName + "/" + siteCollName))
                {
                    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                    {
                        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;

                        SPFolder lib = web.GetFolder("Meter Connect Attachements");
                        SPFile file = lib.Files.Add(fileName, data, true);
                        file.Item["Meter Connect Form Number"] = "Req_" + formNumberUpdate;
                        file.Item["Form Section Attachment"] = formSectionUpdates;
                        file.Item.Update();
                        file.Update();

                        //SPFolder docLib = web.Folder["Meter Connect Attachements"];
                        //docLib.Files.Add(fileName, data);
                        ////update metadata
                        //docLib.Item["Meter Connect Form Number"] = metadataUpdate;
                        //docLib.Item["Form Section Attachment"] = formSectionUpdate;
                        //docLib.Item.Update();
                        web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
                        web.Close();
                    }
                    site.Close();
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
