Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

When ever I click the standard email button, I get an attachement with random alfa and numeric characters for the file name.  Is there any way to change the files names to match a data field in the form or start with something I choose?

Thanks,

Judy

Hi RudyLou36,

While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.

You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.
