    Connecting sharepoint list web part to infopath form webpart with a friendly UI

    Hi,

    I have several pages in sharepoint with an infopath form web part that is connected to a list webpart (through webpart Connections>Get Form from). When a user wants to select an item from the list to open it in the infopath form web part, he or she has to click on a very small two-sided arrow. This is not a friendly way, specially for those users who are not familiar with this interface and sharepoint. I wonder if there is any alternate way to perform this web part connection with a more friendly UI. for example there could be:

    - a button placed on the page. when a row of list web part is selected, clicking the button will open that item in form web part, or
    - simply when user clicks on a row, it automatically opens the item, or
    - any way to change that two-sided arrow icon to a larger icon or a text hyperlink (sth like "select" lable), or
    - any better idea??

    thanks.

    AFAIK, the only way to do this through the UI is through that contextual menu that you were describing.  This is good usability feedback for MS that you should mention to them :)
