InfoPath Dev

Thanks for reading I have my Sharepoint Custome List, that include Brand - Module - Details The Details, is a multi line with Rich text format in my infopath there is a small form that will get the information from the sharepoint Combo Box for reading the Brand Combobox for reading the Module Rich Text for reading the details. I have 2 problem First: how can I fill the Rich Text automaticlly with user select the module Sec: how can i display a rich text from the sharepoint !!! Thanks

Hi & welcome - do you actually need the rich text copied into your main data source, or would it be enough to simply display it on the form after the user selects the Brand? If all you need is to display it, you could use conditional formatting to hide the RT box unless the brand in the secondary data source matched the selected brand, for example. I know with ShP 2010 / IP 2010 if we have a data connection to a list with a RT field, IP will display the RT correctly - where it gets tricky is if you need to copy it into the main data source.

Thanks for your reply My question is consider of two parts First I have a rich text multiline feild in sharepoint, and also have a rich text box in infopath form But I did not find a way to display what in the rich text in sharepoint info the infopath rich text. Secound In sharepoint I custom list, this list includes Brand......module...... Details Lets saythe this table contain the following data Dell....r710..... Good server Hp.....ml110.... Cheape server In infopath there is 2 combo boxed linked with brand and module If the user select from the brand list dell, I want the brand value to automatically filled with r710 as its typed in sharepoint list I hope you understand my question Thanks alot

That's why I was asking if just displaying the rich text would be adequate for your needs - otherwise you'll need code or qRules to copy the rich text from your SharePoint data source into your InfoPath form data source.

As to the second part of your question, if you search for cascading dropdown on this forum or in a search engine online you should find some good information - here's one example. Basically, if your module is a dropdown control, you can add a filter to it to only show the modules for the selected brand. If this is a browser form for SharePoint 2007, however, you can't use filters on the dropdown - here's an example of another approach.

Thanks alot for your help so what can I do for Rich Text, :(

Can you tell me if you need to copy the Rich Text into the main data source? If not, you should be able to just display it from your secondary data source connection.

Thanks What if I want to copy it

Then, as I said above, you'll either need to write some custom code to copy the InnerXml of the node in your 2ds to your main ds, or you could use qRules, which has a command for copying rich text in InfoPath.
