    Data connection on SharePoint Form Library does not return the same result in InfoPath and Web browser

    Hi,

    I have a form library containing custom folders (with custom column), in my form I added a Data Connection on the form library in order to retrieve the folder name on my form in a drop down list.

    In InfoPath everything is ok, I can see all folders in the library, but in Web Browser the list is not complete and some folders are duplicated!

    Anybody have a clue?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hi,

    Did you use any filtering for that dropdown?

    Filtering will not support for dropdowns in the Browser Enabled forms.

    Hi,

    Honestly, I have filtered data but not on the call of the drop down list and, it’s only after retrieve items in this drop down list that I use filtered data to get back automatically more columns to other fields.

    I know that filtered data was not allowed in Web browser, in addition, I activated the browser compatibility check before and, it gives me no complaint about that. 

    My folders in the form library have 3 columns (Address, City, Country) already filled.
    Like the address is unique, I get the address and, after the other columns are automatically retrieved without any problems in the form in Web Browser mode.

    So, my Web Browser problem does not seems to be linked with the filtered data but, is on the first drop down list that does not retrieve the complete library items (5 folders on 12) and one item is duplicated!

    Thank you for your help

    Hi,

    I get it!

    The problem is: With the same version, the InfoPath form return the folder list inside the Form Library and the Web Browser return the items (xml forms) List!
    It’s why I have a mismatch; my library contains 12 folders and 5 forms filled.

    That's weird!!!

    By the way, thank you Anuma for your help!
