InfoPath Dev

I am working on a "turn over" form for my department.  It has 2 sections, 1 for editing (filling out the form) and 1 for emailing the form.  The form contains sections for each of the 3 shifts that we run here and each section has a repeating section so that multiple employees can fill out their info on their shift.  I am following this guide  http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/01/17/emailing-a-custom-view.aspx

 

What I need now is to be able to get the email view to show the entries in the repeating sections from the editable section.  Everything else is pretty much working the way I want it to.

 

My setup:

Infopath 2007 SP1

Outlook 2007  SP1

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated...I feel I'm so close to my goal on this.

You could add a repeating table bound to the repeating group that stores those entries, set it so users can't add/delete rows, then, instead of text boxes, change the fields to use expression boxes. That should give you a table that is only displaying the contents and doesn't allow changes.....

I got my form working using your suggestions...thank you so much for the help.  Now I have another question / problem....

 

I am able to get the e-mail sent like I want.  It looks fine on my computer via Outlook 2007, but when I try to send it to a user with a Blackberry it looks really weird.  From what I can tell it is bc the form is rendering in HTML format or at least some other variant.  Is there a way that I can send the e-mail out in plain text format?

Thanks again for all the help!

 

Edit:

I think that I figured it out.  I didn't have render for mobile devices checked...duh!  Now...any way to do all of this if we are using Outlook 2007 and Infopath 2003 and still be able to send the e-mail easily?

Thanks again!

So you are using IP 2007 and your users have IP 2003?

Yeah some have 2007 some have 2003...so I was told that this needs to be done in 2003 b/c the majority of the users that will be using this form will have 2003.  Really sticks too b/c I just got it all working and formatted the way I wanted in 07...oh well.

If you save your template as IP 2003, do you have errors? What is incompatible?
