Can I check attachment name while attaching?

I want to avoid the Special characters of attachment file name.

Hi @Sachin2 ,

If you are using an Attachment Control, you cannot rename an attachment either while storing it or afterwards. You can however right-click on the file in the Windows dialogue and rename it before selecting for attaching.
You could however reject it if it contained these characters - first make a Collection (screen OnVisible would be a good place (refer this blog of mine using this modified version for another purpose)

ClearCollect( colChar, ForAll( Sequence(13), {FieldNo: Char(32 + Value)} ), {FieldNo: Char(47)}, ForAll( Sequence(7), {FieldNo: Char(57 + Value)} ), ForAll( Sequence(4), {FieldNo: Char(90 + Value)} ), ForAll( Sequence(4), {FieldNo: Char(122 + Value)} ) )

Then on the OnAddFile action of the attachment control

ForAll( colChar, If( FieldNo in Last(Self.Attachments).Name, Notify( "Special Characters not alllowed", Error ); Reset(Self) ) )

NOTE: This will delete any other unsaved files you have added before this as well.
