InfoPath Dev

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the whole InfoPath thing and am playing around at this point but I would love to be able to take our Exchange message logs and view them in an InfoPath form so that the information is readable and useable. I understand I can create a form from the xml file but its at this point that the data source becomes my problem.

Has anyone created a template for Exchange message logs? I would like to be able to open any one of them and have the fields populated for me from the data of the xml file.

You can tell me if I am way over my head for a newbie...:)

Hi prettykitty and welcome to the forum!

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do here, but check out this link:

The first link might be what you are looking for... already built by Microsoft :)

Otherwise, I think you would have to create a script to parse the Message logs into XML and then add that xml file as a secondary data source to an InfoPath form. This might accomplish what you're trying to do. I hope this helps!
