Hi,  I'm super new to sharepoint , and have what is probably a newbie question.

I have a list and a document library.  The documents are linked to the items in the list. (1 list item may have one or moe documents associated with it).

I need to create a form to add new list items that will at the same time upload documents to the document library.

Do I use infopath for that?

Thanks

Hi Chord1,

Create new custom form for the list. In the backend code, when saving the list item upload the attachments to the document library.

Bing for How to create custom list forms using visual studio.

Hope this helps.

"I need to create a form to add new list items that will at the same time upload documents to the document library."

Are you saying that a user fills out a form, and also uploads documents from their PC, or where do these documents come from?

Without custom code you cant achieve your target of saving data into list and attachments into library.

"Are you saying that a user fills out a form, and also uploads documents from their PC, or where do these documents come from?"

Yes. I mean user fills out your custom form and adds attachments from their PC

Thank you. I'll look into this. Hopefully it won't be too difficult

Ok...

1) VJK10, I didn't reply to or quote you, I was asking Chord1...

2) Chord1, there are probably easier solutions than cracking open Visual Studio, just let me know if you're interested by responding to my previous post :)

I created my project in visual studio but for some reason I don't see any of my existing lists.  Is there a way to get them to show up?

Hello,

I am interested in easier solutions than using Visual Studio.  Thanks :)
