Managing a Document upload via InfoPath & BlackPoint

I have a Infopath form based process.  I use the Infopath upload attachment option and after the form is submitted I use the BlackPoint Upload event to take the document and post it into a SharePoint library.


I would like between the Infopath form upload and the BlackPoint post into the SharePoint libray, to change the filename to a standardised naming convention as I cannot trust the users to get it right.  Instead I find that the option to manipulate the file name is grayed out and unavailable.  The message in the field says the filename is being managed by the user application, which I assume is Infopath.


My complication is that I would like to use a sequence number in the filename and wanted to use the ProcessID from BlackPoint.  I can copy the ProcessID from BlackPoint into Infopath but it is seen as an Integer in the Data Fields area and also within Infopath.  As a result it will not concatenate into a alphanumeric string and I can find no way to convert it into a alpha (text).


All suggestions welcome.


 


Thanks
