you better consult the person that has created this workflow on the list, he would be able to help you, he/she would know the name of workflow column

Hi,

I'm sorry I will explain a little better. In the example I am following, within Infopath with my form selected. I am selecting Data Connection,then selecting a form library that has the workflow. After these selections, I'm supposed to see the workflow name in the 'select fields' list. This is where I am not seeing my workflow name. I do see my form fields in the list though.

thank you.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I created a workflow, named "wfapprovalDocLib" inside my document library. Is this what you mean by 'attach'? I can see "WFApprovalDocLIb History"

and "WFApprovalDocLib tasks". What I don't see is something like "WFApprovalDocLib".

when we attach a wrokflow to a sharepoint list/doc lib, we give it the name, most people prefer underscore to make it known that it is a special field, so the field you are gettting might be the actual field you are looking for

Hi,

I'm new to Sharepoint. I am following an example that adds a data connection to an infopath form. After selecting a library that has my workflow defined, I am supposed to see a field that matches my workflow name. The only things I see related to my workflow is 'workflow name' status. The example says I am supposed to see a field name that might begin with a special character. But, I don't see anything like that. Why would I not be seeing the workflow in my list ?

thank you
