    Submit to database

    Hello,

    I created a database using MS Access and then opened InfoPath and choose to design a form from a new data connection. After following how to design my form so that it connects to my database by following these instructions:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011199501033.aspx?mode=print

    I have come to a problem: One of the last steps in my Access/InfoPath connection is to create a submit button so that it can submit to my database and update it.

    So the instructions tell me to add a submit button to the bottom of my form (not in the repeating section) and then to double click on it to open the button properties and to choose "submit" in the Action list box. After that it says to choose "Database" and click ok. The problem here is that when I do all that I don't have the choice of submitting to my database.
    My only choices are:
    Email
    Web Service
    Sharepoint
    Web Server (HTTP)
    Custom submit using form code
    Custome submit using rules

    Please help me b/c I thought I was finished and now I can not go on!!!

    Any help would be great!!

    Hi,

    - Right-click on the button that you just dropped on your form.
    - Click Rules
    - Add
    - Add Action
    - Select "Query using a data connection" in the drop-down.
    - Add
    - Database

    Is that what you are looking for?

    Regards,
