Use an XML config file with the questions and make the questionnaire data-driven. Qdabra has YouTube videos on this technique. I think in May I did one called &amp;quot;data-driven design&amp;quot;. The canonical example is a survey/questionnaire form. At any rate, you want the separate submits to be separate XMLs. Depending on the user the form loads different questions in from a resource file stored in SharePoint. Then, you can merge using the stock InfoPath-&amp;gt;Merge Files feature, or you can do reporting by mapping the forms to a SQL database (using DBXL) or SharePoint list (using qRules). Easy as pie...&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Merging Forms</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/81990.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 26 Aug 2012 18:32:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:81990</guid><dc:creator>jfrade</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/81990.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=81990</wfw:commentRss><description>Hi,

I am a newbie to this function in InfoPath and SharePoint.  I have been asked to setup a form where 4 users can go in and complete a questionnaire.  Each user has different questions.  

My initial path, was to create a view for each user.  Each user would complete the form and I can use the feature within SharePoint to Merge the forms.  

I am stuck because I find that the merge only works with repeating sections.  Can it be just a simple unbound drop down?  Do I need to harness VB code?

I searched the internet and found a few resources.  Can anyone provide links to the above in InfoPath 2007?


Thanks!</description></item></channel></rss>
