MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2006File attachment conditions
I am trying to require file attachments under certain conditions (field 1 is A, and field 2 is B or C). How do I do this? The file attachment is in a repeating section, that's within a section that hides under certain conditions. Thx! You need to set it to NOT required by default and then use Custom Data Validation to set it to required under the conditions you specify.

So Field 5 is my file attchment control. I go into Properties, Data, Rules. Set Condition to Field 5is blank, the Action is Show a Dialog Box: "You must attach a file". When I test the form, there is no warning or message that comes up when I try to save it.

Remove the rule you created, then double-click the attachment control in the view. In the properties dialog box, select the check box labeled Cannot Be Blank.
