Default attachment on New form
I've been asked to place a document on a custom form I've built on a 6.3 install. Basically, I would like to know if there is a way to have a default value added to an attachment field, so that the attachment is on the form when opened in New mode.

Re: Default attachment on New form
Chris, The PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT command in an active link would work. The file that you want to attach would either need to be accessible to the user logged in (ie. a network share \\server\folder\file.doc), or use a Set Fields command to pull the file from a regular from. This copies the file to the user's %TMP% folder (in WUT). Once on the user's computer you would use the above command to set it to the attachment field on the form.

Re: Default attachment on New form
...I forgot the most obvious way. Use a Set Fields to pull the file from another regular form directly into the attachment field. It's been a long day :) From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Heider, Stephen Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 3:29 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Default attachment on New form Chris, The PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT command in an active link would work.
