Ok, I looked up the issue I had remembered with the onload event, you can't switch views. However the work around is to change the default view. Greg explains it here. http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/greg/archive/2005/06/27/Switch-Views-During-the-OnLoad-Event.aspx

For your second issue you might add this to your logic and look first if it is a new form and then if not check the allowform before setting the default view.

Otherwise what I have done, is not use code and the onload event but instead done everything in the opening rules. I have used SharePoint or a datasource to get the username. I have used existing data in the form to determine whether it is new or an existing form.

Have fun.

Hi Clay Fox. I will explain my problem exactly

I have an InfoPath Form that contain field (on main Data Source) named "UserLogin".

On it's OnLoad event I do this code:

function XDocument::OnLoad(eventObj)

{

var objNetwork = new ActiveXObject("WScript.network");

var login=objNetwork.UserName ;

if(XDocument.IsNew)

{

XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:UserLogin").text=login; // Set the current user login as the value of "UserLogin"

}

else // NOT NEW FORM

{

var existLogin=XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:UserLogin").text;

if (existLogin != login)

{

//This is the problematic part !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

}

Explain: If the form is new form I update on the "UserLogin" field to be the value of the user login that open this form.

If the form is NOT NEW - I check if the current user that open the form, is the same user that open it on the first time!!!!!!

If not (the problematic part)..... I want to close the form or switch view but as I can see I cant do those operations on the OnLoad event!!!!!!

What can I do?

By the way I also try this: I add to my Data Source a boolean field called "AllowForm" (deafult value=True)

In me code - In the (the problematic part) I write this:

if (existLogin != login) { XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:AllowForm").text=False; }

And the I go to Tools-> Form Options-> Open and Save -> Rules -> Add -> Set condition: "if AllowForm is equal to False" -> Add action -> Switch to "View 2"

It's not work because this open role happen before the OnLoad event so I AllowForm still =True!!!! and the action not operate!!!!

Any Ideas????

I have done this several times, screened the user and then switched to the appropriate view as the form opens, overriding the default view. However I have always done this with the opening rules. I seem to remember something about that the view cannot be switched in the onload event. It has to happen after load, as the opening rules are being executed.

InfoPath form and User login

I want to do this:

I want to create an InfoPath form that when it opened the first time (isNew=true) it will remember the user login (stored it in a field) and then when someone will try to open this form, it will check if is the same user that opened it on the first time..... If not... I want to close the form or to switch to other view (I try yo do this from the OnLoad event but I cam't do this)
