Combo boxes can't take borders. This is not an InfoPath limitation, but an Internet Explorer limitation that carries over to InfoPath because InfoPath uses Internet Explorer to render its views.<br /><br />2. Place a default value formula on the field that converts the typed in content to uppercase. The XPath would be: <br /><br />translate(., "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")<br /><br />Make sure that the check box is selected to update the contents when they change.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1694.aspxWed, 29 Nov 2006 14:59:06 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1694dmirsky0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1694.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=1694Im a newbie! <br /><br />I have been developing a form in InfoPath... at one point I had all sorts of errors that I could not Preview my form... saying it was edited outside of the XML ... The only way I could fix this issue was to copy and paste my contents into a new form and re-configure/re-do my data sources and re-map the controls...basically starting from scratch.. So, I am now happy that my form is not "crashing" every time I preview it... (Was this a common error? Is infopath stable for enterprise deployment? These errors really scared me! and Im thinking of ditching Infopath and starting fresh with a PDF form)<br /><br />Anyway, now when I try to edit my data sources... make new groups .. add items, etc. all of the data sources are locked (with a little padlock icon in the corner of each group) and I have no options available. What have I done wrong? How can I fix this?<br /><br />Some of my other issues/headaches<br />1. How do I get a border on a combo box? I can get the contents of the pull-down underlined... but not a full border... This is for Print purposes where my text boxes all line up with nice underlines under the entire cell.. but the pulldowns only underline the selected word only<br />2. How do I format the contents of a cell to always be in UPPERCASE<br /><br />Thanks for any help you may provide.
