    How to Link to each item in sharepoint form library displayed in infopath repeating table

    I have a secondary data connection to a sharepoint form library (.xml files).  I am displaying the list ("filtered" using visibility rules) in a repeating table.  I want the form user to be able to open any form in the list by clicking a link on that line of the repeating table.

    Of course, the sharepoint column [name] are links when on the sharepoint site, but just the filename text in the repeating table.  And I cannot seem to add a control to the secondary data source repeating table to concat the URL...  Also, I don't think you can creat the url text in a calculated sharepoint column either

     Any ideas how I can (codelessly) generate that URL.

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hi Rmsphoto,

    Have you tried changing the field Data Type to Hyperlink(Any URI) in the properties section?

     Hope the above helps.

    I can do that with the [Title] field. - But that link only reflects the filename (without a path), which only would work if your were already in the same library.  These links need to be to a different library from the current form.  I cannot concat the appropriate path with the [title] in the repeating table because I cannot create a new control in the repeating table that is tied to the secondary data source.

    Am I missing some simple control?

    Thanks,

    Is it possible to use another textbox field that would contain your concatenated links? If yes, you might want to try hiding the textbox field containing the original information (using conditional formatting) and display the concatenated textbox field set as Hyperlink data type. Your conditional formatting might depend on some field that varies depending on whether you are in Edit view or Display view.
