InfoPath \ FormsServer Attachments

Dameon

Hi All -

I have an InfoPath form deployed to FormsServer and would like to add
attachments to the form. I understand that with the current control,
attachments can be added, but they are embedded (stored as content of child
nodes) in the backend XML of the current form. If a user adds too many
attachments or one large attachment, my form (via the web browser) could
become very very slow. Is there a way to add attachments to a form, but have
those attachments saved in a document library or similiar, with a link back
to the form they were added to? This instead of having the attachments
literally being added to the form's XML.

Thanks for the guidance -

Dameon

Hello

You can create a Shared folder on the Sharepoint and have the attachments
saved into this . But you need to write the code to achieve this. There is no
easy way out to do this in Infopath

Hi Kalyan -

Thank you for your response. I'm not worried about some hard work and some
coding, goes with the territory. Do you know of any samples demonstrating
this or can you provide any guidance or a starting point?

Thanks -
