John, How about distributing that attachment over a mid-tier link in an attachment field, which when opened (window open), updates the AR System. Have a disclaimer on that email that says opening that link and signing in, the user acknowledges that he has downloaded the intended attachment.. Maybe you could get your legal department to phrase that nicely.. That would be a legal agreement with the user that he did indeed get to the form, and downloaded the attachment.

Their reply will be an acknowledgement of accepting the attachment. I just want the reply to create a record on a form that records the Date, and their email address. This will be used to display in a table field of another form. As they accept the attachments over time we will see more entries in the table field. This will be our way of verifying that we sent them the Instructions, Briefing, documents etc. and that they acknowledged receipt of same. I want to get their email address into the form in a field. I was going to use the value loaded into the Submitter field but that came out different for two attempts from the same email address. One was my account name and the other was the “Admin” account that we keep in the system ( we replaced Demo ). Is there a keyword for the From email address? Thanks, --- John J.
