Best practice for cases like this is to create a form using XML schema in order to have full control. You may check &lt;a href="http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/20039/69489.aspx"&gt;this&lt;/a&gt; forum thread for a more detailed explanation of what or why it is happening.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Allow attachment control to be blank?</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/98613.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 07 Aug 2014 12:23:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:98613</guid><dc:creator>garnerish</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/98613.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=43&amp;PostID=98613</wfw:commentRss><description>So I created an infopath form with an attachment field and control.

However there won&amp;#39;t always be an attachment to be put on, and the form won&amp;#39;t allow itself to be submitted without the attachment.

I go into the properties but &amp;quot;Cannot be blank&amp;quot; is automatically ticked and greyed out.

Any ideas?</description></item></channel></rss>
