That was exactly the problem. I published to a sharepoint site and it works flawlessly. The one question i have left is how do i get the second form to open automatically without having to click save and open on the browser downloads window?

The problem is not your target form - it is set up correctly (see the attached screenshot - I used the command prompt to pass in input params to the form). I think the problem is that your form is on a network location and URL parameters are not being passed in. Will your final form be on a network location? Or published to SharePoint?

If you can take a look i would greatly appreciate it. I can't get it to work.

I don't know that I've tried this with a form published to a local or network drive, which I am guessing is what you are doing. You can test the command in your target form using the command prompt - you can pass in your input params via command prompt and verify that the target form works. More here - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2007/02/26/passing-data-into-a-form-input-parameters.aspx

If you want me to take a look at your target form, I could do that sometime tomorrow - you can attach to a reply under the "Options" tab.

Still getting the same error The requested key name was not specified in the input parameters. I appreciate your help. Any other ideas?

You'll be wanting an "&" in here:

concat ("P:\infopath test\target form.xsn?openin=client&name=", name)

yes, i have a link on the source form to the path of the target form which is concat ("P:\infopath test\target form.xsn?openin=client name=", name)

So - what is the URL you are using to open the form? Has it got the "name" query parameter in it?

Thank you but,

I think you are missing a space between the command name and the parameter. Set the command field to:

GetInputParameter /key=name

I am using the finishedloading parameter in qrules with a rule that says finishedloading=true and 2 rules after that. set a fields value is GetInputParameter/key=name and set a fields value name=result.

Hi - sounds like there may be a problem with your qRules command. What is the syntax of the command you are using in the target form? When does the command execute?

Hi Patrick,

I am trying to pass a value between 2 infopath forms. They are on a network drive, same folder for testing purposes. The error i get when the target form opens in the qrules error field is Parameter not recognized: /key=name. Simple forms with no data connections. All i have on the form is the field "name".Just simply trying to pass a value. Looking to purchase the rules if i can get this working. Looks like a very useful tool.

Should work fine. There may be a warning in the design checker, but you can ignore that.

What data connection are you using? The GetInputParameter stuff doesn't actually use a data connection. In other words, you can verify independent of any data connections.

Assuming the input parameter is passed, you can then set the query fields and query the data connection and get the data you need.

I'm happy to help you debug this in an online meeting. Just send email.

Work is blocking the video (have had time to watch at home), but I did get qrule setup and it pass data between the forms with one issue, it braking the data connections. If I open the form with no parameter, the data connection work fine. I have to "GetInputParameter" qrule setup on finish loading field.
