Hi,

I create a form with an attachment file.

the attached file saved in the dataverse table Notes "base64"

I tried to retrieve the attached file by email but when I try to open the file I get an error message "Unable to display the contents of the file".

Please any solutions. thank you

    I do not understand what you mean by the above.

     

    A file attachment will be stored as base64, if you view it via a Model Driven App or Canvas App you should be able to download/see it.  If you are trying to do something else with it you will need to convert it e.g. Flow has a set of base64 expressions to help converting as does .NET
