Oh my gawd... Solution: Need to publish the form locally after the changes are made... Answer was staring right back at me in DBXL Admin Tool page. This is a side track but I would like to tag this particular post to code caching so that fellow "victims" like me can avoid shredding their laptops when they encounter this. The ...

Hi Patrick, Mel, Thanks! I will try out qRules very soon. However, I'm kinda in a tight situation to produce the main part of my form so I won't be able to really test qRules till next week. And I am currently having a supremely frustrating problem where I tried to use code for URL with input parameters ...

Hi Patrick, Thanks, you mean a trial of qRules? Actually, I was thinking of another solution. Is it possible to decode the file name, file size and URL to the attached attachments based on its base64 coding? If it can be done (in SQL maybe?), we can resolve the base64 string into something meaningful for the users because the objective of my ...

Hi Mel,  We do not have qRules. Will your copytable command still work? If we are ok with retreving some specific data like filename, file size and a url link to download the attachment, is there another solution preferably without qRules?   Thanks!

Hi Patrick,  Thanks for your help, I got this feeling coding is still required. If coding is required, my form is currently using Visual Basic coding. Thanks again Patrick and Mel.

Hi Patrick,  Yup, if I use SDS, the attachment shows up as strings when I drop and drop the SDS to my form. We don't have qRules yet and so when I use the 2nd method which is to copy the SDS to my main form, only the first attachment is displayed. I was not able to make the attachment retrieval repeat. Understand that there may be a ...

Hi Jim, I don't quite get what you mean by creating a new node under my repeating group. I do have the Infopath file attachment control under my repeating group. But when I query the database and return values to the attachment control, only the first attachment appears. How do I pull out multiple attachments which I uploaded previously?

Hi, Yes, we am using queryDB. Images are stored as base64 in InfoPath and as varchar(max) in SQL. Images come from user's local machines. We allow users to upload files from their desktops into this form we are developing. We would like the attachments to be displayed just like how they were when they are first attached to ...

Hi Patrick,  Attached is my sample form. I did not include my data connections but i hope this will surfice. What happens in the top section is how I attach multiple attachments to my issue log form. The bottom half displays how I intend to be able to retrieve the multiple attachments that were submitted previously based on the issueID and ...

Hi, We managed to use repeating sections on our form to hold multiple attachments and submit them to DBXL. Everything for submission works fine. However, when we try to retrieve the attachments via a data connection, there does not seem to be a way to return multiple attachments. How we perform the retrieval is via a data connection to the ...
