Hi,

I am facing challenging issue. I am using button with javascript and ImportDataObject function to attach file to the form (not using the build in paper clip). File system dialog pops up and I can select whatever file I want. The question is, can I limit the selection to certain filetypes? If so, how would I do such a thing?

Thanks

Nope, can't be done. It would be nice if there were some setup parameters for this function and others that display file open/save dialogs, but there isn't. It is what it is:(

Thanks Thomp,

I'll just go with the javascript and kick unwanted attachments out programaticaly.
Have a nice one,
