I am looking to add an attachement field on one of my
forms. So that I can add a Word doc or Excel spreadsheet
to the form. However, I can not seem to figure out the
best way to do this. Could someone please provide me with
a good example of how to do this?

Thanks,
Joe
 
There is no "Attachment field." In order for the user to be able to add
attachments, the message control (the big box on an unmodified form) must be
present.
 
I am having thesame issue as Joe. I still think there has to be an alternative. I used the message control to generate my template so i have to hide it from Users. Once I do this, the attachment icon disappears.

Pls Sue or anybody out there, look into this.

Thanks.

Michael.

There is no alternative. If the message control isn't there, users can't
attach files.

Thanks Sue, Please look into the problem i posted under "Outlook Forms Publishing". Hope to get a feed back soon.
 
Thanks Sue

I had the same problem and I have done as you prescribed, but how do i hide the code that it displays? Its not pretty and its confusing for the users to be seeing the code whenever they try to attach a doc

I am referring to the this message below that appears in my template. It is visible in the message control of my form

Would you want me to send you the Custom form i developed? If so, pls provide an email add

#AR-Message-Begin Do Not Delete This Lin
Schema: HPD:HelpDes
Server: helpdesk.group.co
Login: Helpdes
Password
 
Run the form, delete that text, then republish the form. If you need to
store that text in the item, do it in some field other than the Body
property and adjust your code to use that other property.
