Attachment not showing in sent form
 

Hi, I have designed a custom form with custom fields and published it in my
Personal Forms library for testing. The requestor wants users to be able to
add an attachment to the form. I found out to do this that I had to add the
Message field to the form.

All works well when using the form. I can attach a document and see the
attachment right above the message field. When I view the sent document,
neither the attachment nor the message field appear. However, I can see in my
Inbox that the message has a file attached. The attachment and the message DO
appear if I try to forward the form to someone.

I have tried expanding the Message field to leave plenty of room but nothing
works. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Remember there are two different layouts on most message forms. Did you remove the message body control from the Read layout for the form? If so, then attachments won't be visible.
