InfoPath Dev

I was wondering if you could set up a link in infopath to execute a block of code when it is clicked... I imagine there is a way but it doesn't seem intuitive. Anybody know?

Yes. In the Designer, you can double click on the button control and choose Edit Form code. This will bring up the script editor. To add .NET code, you'll want to create a project in Visual Studio using the InfoPath template. This is covered in Chapter 2 of our book.

As far as I know we cannot write code for a hyperlink.
When you add a Hyperlink to your InfoPath UI, <a> tag is added in the View.xsl file.
for example when you add a hyperlink for hotmail the xsl that is created for that would be
<a href="http://www.hotmail.com" xd:disableEditing="yes">www.hotmail.com</a>

But one thing you can do is design your button in the form of a hyperlink, by removing background, underlining it, change color to blue. And you can have event for this button.
