Submit using rules - then in your rules, you can use an action rule to set the field's value.

Hi Jimmy.,

Thanks for responding. Can you provide more details on how to do this? I am still learning how to use InfoPath? How do I set the Submited field to "True" when the form is submitted?

Cheers,
Derek

There's no need to use code to show a hidden section. Just create a field in your form called Submitted that you set to true when the form is submitted. Then conditionally hide the hidden section based on the value of the Submitted field.

How to programically display a section as part of form submission (FormEvents_Submit)

Greetings,

I am using InfoPath 2007 and have created a form that has a section that I want hidden until the user clicks the "Submit" button, upon which I want the following to occur as part of form submission:

1) The 'hidden" section to be displayed

2) This "updated" form is emailed to the user (* haven't coded this 2nd part yet *)

I have learned that I need to imbed this code in the "FormEvents_Submit" area of my code (I am using C#). So far this is what I have:

public void FormEvents_Submit(object sender, SubmitEventArgs e)

{

// Get a reference to the main data source

XPathNavigator trackingSection = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:NLD_Training_Request_Form/my:TelusEmployeeSectionOrNotMainSection/my:TelusIDorNotChoiceMainSection/my:TELUSIDorNotHeaderSection/my:TrackingNumberSection", NamespaceManager);

CurrentView.SelectNodes(trackingSection,trackingSection, "CTRL9");

CurrentView.ExecuteAction(ActionType.XOptionalInsert, "group1_263");

}

-------------

But I am getting the following error at run-time:

Only XPathNavigators from a DataObject are allowed.
Parameter name: startNode

Any Ideas?

Derek
