Hi Sharksfan,

You can do this with a custom data validation on the attachment node. Double-click the node in the Data Source task pane, go to Data Validation tab, and then add a rule that is true when:

"Attachment node is blank" AND

"Checkbox is true"

Now, add a custom error message and you should be good to go!

Way to validate that an attachment is uploaded?

I am trying to ensure that if a user selects a checkbox he/she attaches an approval email doc within the form. If no approval is attached I want a validation error to result. Is there anyway to validate that an attachment exists? "Can not be blank" within the Attachment control will not work becuase I only want the validation to occur if the dependent checkbox is selected.
