InfoPath Dev

Hello,

I have noticed that we can insert RefID into a document by setting up it from DAT, which is wonderfull, though I wish I could know it before.

I am wondering if there is a similar way to insert DocID into a document automatically.

Thanks

Hi Oka-san,

DBXL inserts the DocID into a document when you submit it. If your scenario is supporting multiple saves from a new document, you will need to insert the DocID into it. In DBXL 2.4 (release planned for this quarter) this becomes easier - we have an XTP that automatically does this using a new Web Service. It uses a Key to get the DocID. In DBXL 2.3, you have to insert the PI using code. It's a few lines of code. I will ask one of our developers to reply with a sample.

More soon,

Hi,

There's a sample online, here: http://www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/miscellaneous/entry49724.aspx

Hi, 

For a code sample, are you using InfoPath 2003 or 2007? Do you use VB or C#?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the prompt reply.  We are using InfoPath2007, though I am not willing to use a code. But I also found previous post;

It was very easy if we need DocID from the second opening of a document.

Thanks
