One field of this form is a search where a user types in text, clicks search and chooses the correct finding. I have gotten most of it already done except for the search piece. Here is my current setup. I have two lists on SharePoint, one is a custom list and the other an external list being pulled from a SQL database. The external list is a BDC using the Wildcard filter type. At first I attempted to simply add an external list item to the original custom list and work with the SharePoint list add/edit view. It worked well except for the convoluted process of a user, having to click the 'Select External items' option, a separate window populates, do the search and then pick the item. I'm trying to create a cleaner, easier form using InfoPath. I have created an InfoPath form using the custom list and then added the external list as a data connection. I want to search the external list, find and select what I am looking for, fill the rest of the form manually and then submit it. Has anyone attempted this before? Currently, my external BDC with the wildcard filter doesn't give results when I do a search on infopath. I created another external BDC (without the wildcard filter) but when I do a search, what I type in has to be exact otherwise I don't get any results. In short, I'd like to use the external bDC with wildcard filter, search-find-choose. Thanks in advance for your help.
