InfoPath Dev

Hi,

I am using InfoPath 2007.

I have a form with qRules in and working.

I have created the form linked to a database table.

I have the query selection box based on a secondary datatable.  When the selection box is updated an appropriate button appears - either get existing records(Run Query), or create a new record (New Record).

I would like the datafields section on the form to be hidden until one of these buttons is pressed.  I don't know what condition to use to get the conditional formatting to work.

I can count the number of records - if any exist.  So I can cope if there are existing records.

If there are no existing records - what condition can I use to make the section appear - but only after the New record button has been pressed.

I hope this makes sense. 

Thank you

Catharine

Hi Catharine,

You can put the datafields section in an optional section that is hidden based on a field in a secondary data source (you can add a little XML file that has one value in it) and set that value when the New record button is pressed.

Hope that makes sense!

 Hi Patrick,

 You mentioned: "set that value when the New record button is pressed"

How do you do that?
