I&#39;ve been playing with it for a few hours and I&#39;m impressed with all the options but unfortunately, I still cant get my head around a few things.</p> <p>&nbsp;At the moment I have the main form, &quot;Submission of New Opportunity&quot; which gets user data from our SharePoint site and allows the originator to enter several fields of information about&nbsp;their&nbsp;event or whatever. I&#39;ve changed the built in SP2010 approval workflow so that once the user clicks the submit button, it gets sent to&nbsp;HR for approval. Once approved, it gets copied to a new form library called &quot;Aprroved Opportunities&quot; and the original item is deleted from the &quot;Submission of New Opportunity&quot; library. All of our site members can then view the &quot;Approved Opportunities&quot; list of items.</p> <p>&nbsp;What I&#39;d like to do is:</p> <ol> <li> <div>As the item is copied over to the new library, it is changed to read-only so the item acts a bit like an advertisement rather than an editable item.</div></li> <li> <div>The rejected applications get moved to the Archive library</div></li> <li> <div>Add a new button to the bottom of the form which, when clicked by the site members, takes them to a general application form which automatically pre-poulates some of the fields with details of the &quot;Approved Opportunity&quot; item they clicked on.</div></li> <li> <div>Once the user application form has been completed, it will then be sent on another approval workflow to the Originator.</div></li> <li> <div>I guess the task list is the best way for the Originator to compare all applications before making a decision and approving one of them? Or is there a better way this could be done?</div></li> <li> <div>Once all of this has completed, the approved and rejected items get moved to the Archive library</div></li></ol> <p>Sorry for the long post guys! Im a complete InfoPath beginner and had no idea about all these things I could get it to do, my original simple idea soon turned into a much more complex (but complete?) solution lol. Maybe one of the more experienced users can think of a better way for me to do all of the above?</p> <p>&nbsp;Many thanks for any help and advice you can give!</p> <p>&nbsp;Nick</p>
