InfoPath Dev

Hi all, I have recently been trying to submit some data from one SharePoint list form to a secondary SharePoint list to simulate repeating tables (which I know you can't have in SharePoint list forms due to all fields needing to be bound to a SharePoint field). This being the case I have followed a number of tutorials (such as http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc162745) and they are great except they all rely on some C# at the end to push the data into the list, which I cannot use on a SharePoint list form as the developer tabs are disabled. Currently without this code on submit the list item is created in the secondary list but is blank. Does anyone know if it is possible to submit to a secondary list from a SharePoint list form (i.e. without using code). Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated, or even a definitive no would be great so I can start approaching different routes. Thanks

Hi Jimmy,

You can use a submit data connection to submit XML to a Web service but you will have to concatenate the string to create the XML.

Why not just use a full-fledged InfoPath XML form? The list forms are not meant for most forms. They are just for simple 10-20 field forms with no repeaters.

It's easy to do the copy and submit using our qRules common library, but that is indeed code. Good news is that you don't have to write it and you can use the library in all of your forms.

More later,

Hi Patrick, Thanks for your reply. I am trying to use a list form for security reasons, as storing the form in a form library means storing the xml. Unfortunately I am also restricted from using code. Can you explaing what you meant when you said:

I just need a way of getting my secondary list to save the data, it is creating the item but a blank one.

This seems to be bang on the money! Now I just need a way of showing certain fields in certain places.
