    dialogue msg- and input boxes in infopath

    Hi everybody,

    How can i accomplish dialogue message/inputboxes for users to fill in and when they are ready and click op OK the infopathform fills itself with the information?

    I am not familiar with coding but if anyone can tell me how to make a module or project in vbscript in infopath i would apreciate it also.
    I cant seem to create a module only subs.

    Hope someone will help me.

    Kind Regards
    Henny

    Hi Henny,

    Not sure I understand your question. You have a form and you want to display dialog boxes that prompt the user for information. After they submit and click "OK" on the dialog box, you'd like to have it fill in the InfoPath form with the information. Is that correct?

    Why not just use a separate view in InfoPath for this? The benefits are: no code, better validation, and consistent user experience (all in the same form). Just have them click on a button and then you can either switch to the new view or just show a hidden section in the existing view. After they fill out the fields, the form could switch back to the original view or hide the section.

    Good luck!
