Answer 1

Sidhanta, First am not able to understand what do you mean by "3 columns are of multiple attachment type". When you enable attachment for a list, you can upload multiple attachments to each item. In InfoPath, you can use File Attachment control.

Answer 2

Hi Suresh ,

The coloumns will take only attachment type. It need to be created in infopath2010.

Did you explore attachment field control in InfoPath?

Answer 4

Hi suresh,

I will try to clarify the objective. In the infopath form which is connected to Sharepoint 2010 List,There are 3 Sections. I want to put one attachment control inside every section. As per my experiance and knowledge concern Infopath to List support only one attachment control thoroughout the form.Then how I can use 3 attachment controls in a Infopath 2010 form.

I need your kind suggestion.

Answer 5

Sidhanta,

What I understand from your requirement, you have grouped the list fields into three sections. And you are trying to add attachment control to each section. If my understanding is right, you cannot add like that. Per my knowledge, the list can contain only one attachment column. Similarly, you can have only one attachment control in InfoPath form. However, this attachment control can be used to attach multiple documents. Probably, you can check if this serves the purpose.
