Re: InfoPath 2007 - Determine which view to display

I did find some information that looks like it will provide your info.

This article describes how to do it in code but of course since it is accessing a web service you should be able to just setup a data connection in InfoPath to the same web service:

This is the MSDN documentation for the complete class library and more importantly the web services on SharePoint:

Ok, I ended up getting this to work by created rules as the fomr opens. My only problem now is that I cant seem to directly check to see if a person is a site admin. For now I had to create an admin contact list in sharepoint and then when my form opens, I use a data connection to see if the username is in this contact group. I would rather check to see if the user is a site admin so I dont have to maintain two lists of admins.
How do you verify if the person accessing the form is a site admin?

I need to be able to determine the view as the form is opened. I please some custom code in the load event to do a ViewInfos.SwitchView("View 1");
is the username on the machien equals the lanid on the form. However, I received an error indicating that I could not use ViewInfos.SwitchView in the form load event.
Not sure how to set this up to work now.

Hello,

Did you tried by keeping a Button in the View 1 and Switch views when the button is Clicked.
You can keep conditions when to execute this action.

Hope this helps you.

InfoPath 2007 - Determine which view to display

mikesm — Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:08:22 GMT

I have an InfoPath 2007 form created and it is set up to be opened in a browser. I have 3 levels of security that I need to apply:

1) Admin - edit entire form
2) Creator - edit form w/ excepton of admin section
3) All Other - Only view form (admin section hidden)

Since this form is browser enabled, I cannot set up User Roles and they are not usable in browser forms. What I want to do is have 3 views, one for each level of security and then determine which view to display when the person opens the form from the SharePoint forms library. I have the default view set up as the All other. But not sure how to switch to the other 2 views.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Mike
