Re: Create form with if-loop?

The links helped! My problem was that I went to InfoPath through SharePoint 2010 so I didn't have all the custom controls that usually exists. However, just by creating a Section and placing the text and controls within that section it allowed for conditional formatting! Now it works! However I have a couple of additional questions and I don't feel like polluting the forum so I'll ask them here for starters. Maybe you know the answer to them aswell :) 1) I have one field in the form that I only want a few people to be able to see and edit. (It's called Important offers, and it's a checkbox (Yes/No). Is there a clever way of doing this? 2) Is it possible to get one Attachment control for each file. Now when i put 5 in a row, they all show the same files when attaching files. I would like them to be independent.. if that makes any sense? Thanks a lot for your help!

elmaco12:
how do I apply conditional formating to a section? I can only apply it to a Table Tool.

I don't understand the question. :)

Here are Microsoft articles; hope they help:

Thank you very much for the help! I'm guessing this will work but how do I apply conditional formating to a section? I can only apply it to a Table Tool. What I have now is the 4 choice question and below that I have 7 rows with just Title in column 1 and a Attachment field in column 2. I need to hide the attachment fields but when I select them I can't choose Add Rule? Thanks again :)

You can accomplish this by having four sections, one for each of the alternatives. Hide all sections by default (i.e. when the dropdown is blank). Once a dropdown option has been selected, you can use conditional formatting to show the correct section. Good luck!

Hi, Im trying to edit a form from SharePoint 2010 in InfoPath 2010. To simplify lets just say that i have one input field which is a choice question with 4 alternatives. What I want to do is to create a form that, depending on what you chose in the first question, shows a number of new rows with questions/actions. For example: first question could be: What is your Name? And you could then choose between Ann, Caroline, Mark and Dave. Depending on what name you choose, a couple of new rows should appear which asks you to attach some files. So for example if I chose Ann. Then three new rows appear below which says something like: Please attach CV: Please attach Cover Letter: Please attach Picture: Been trying to figure this out for a while now but cant get it to work! Cheers, Marcus
