I want to use the info path built in js language. Can you point to some examples. I cannot find any specific ones that work with infopath's data field...

Thanks!

Ah ok. This will depend on the language you are using. I would do a Google search on " 'dos commands' and '<insert your language> ". You can put the code in the button event handler. You'll have to create a variable to copy the node data into and then use that in your code to pass it to the command line.

for example when a user clicks a button:
I want info path to execute this DOS command below:
mkdir c:\Marketing\'infopath data field value'

Hi Sam1996 and welcome to our forum. This will require code and will also require full trust as it modifies the file system.

Running DOS Commands in InfoPath

Hi All,

Does anyone know how to execute DOS commands in Infopath using a button. Specifically, I would like to create folders using a Infopath data field value as a folder name.

Thanks!
