Hi Schung and welcome to our forum,

If the optional fields (in this case change of address) are truly separate from the original form, you can add a secondary data source that you submit to which updates the address info. You may also want to add a secondary data source that loads the existing address. Jerome (Nukkumati) is right that opening a second form is easy using code. Clay is also right that sometimes it's quicker to create a separate view or conditional section that shows up and submits to a separate data soruce. Lots of options here.

Typically I would go with a view if possible. This is cleaner and simpler.

you can use a rule action on a button to open another form too.

For me, there has to be a reason to load another form. if a view works. go with it.

Performance is another Consideration.

You can do both, use views or call the NewFromSolution() method to open another form.

Opening a 2nd form based on option

schung — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:03:27 GMT

I was wondering if it's possible to open up a 2nd infopath form based on selection by the user. If a user selects an option, i.e., change of address, a new form will pop-up. Then user complete it & submit. then return to current first form.

Or should I use the view option?

Thanks in advance.
