So I am trying to do something to a SP list, after linking it inside an Access database, and I am coming across this problem whereby I am able to 1) add records in Access, 2) edit records in Access--UNLESS I go to SP online and populate the People fields in between 1 and 2. The second that I add People information (online, since I can't seem ...

So - I guess I'm wondering why use a control for this at all? Just use a calculated value that shows the value of the field and then if it is blank, nothing shows. The user can't set it at all....

I've got a form with a few different types of controls in it, every control has a nice black border around it except for dropdowns. I can't seem to get a border around them. is there a way to fix this?

I have a field that gets its data from a field in another SharePoint list. That field either has ONE value or is blank.

Wow, that worked perfectly! Thank you so much. I had tried to use a similar but slightly different expression I found elsewhere and it did not work. Thanks again!

count(/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/my:SharePointListItem_RW/my:Attachments/attachmentURL) should do the trick.... If you look at your datasource in "advanced" view, you'll see attachmentURL is repeating.

Yes - sorry. My entire knowledge is comprised of this context so I forget to specify it. I created a List, then used "customized in infopath". using sp 2010 and infopath 2013.

Oh, is this a list form? Sorry, trying to understand your data source.

No, it's just the default "click here to attach a file" thing.

Is the attachment in a repeating group or repeating itself? If so, you can just use the count function...
