Not looking for full answers just peopels ideas or opinions (good and bad)</p> <p><br />1) Anyway of auditing all users changes made in the form.&nbsp; Example: After from has gone through 4 seperate users via workflow, can the final user see the initial value and each users value if they have changed it?&nbsp; Can you have a tab that list all the changes made?</p> <p><br />2) Prefix this question with a statement.&nbsp; Users are used to excel.&nbsp; So when they want to override a calulated value they firstly must know a password to unlock sheet and then the just type over the top and then put a comment on that cell. This is rare but it can happen on half the fields in the form and we don&#39;t want to start cluttering the Forms up with extra fields.&nbsp; Can it be done using the same control or do we have to delve into the conditional layouts or some other approach.</p> <p><br />3) I&#39;ve seen how easy the Table binding works but I&#39;m wondering how easy it would be to use data from a Generic web service.&nbsp; All our data comes from one web service call with 2 fields Data_Name, Data_value.&nbsp; We have to move through each record and somehow map that field to a control on the form.&nbsp; Would this be easy to do?&nbsp;should I somehow translate it into a local datatable and then use databinding? </p> <p><br />As you can tell I want to move to a central standard for validated data but I need to justify writing code in InfoPath vs Excel. Trying to avoid Visual studio because it limits my support teams ability to sort through issues.</p>
