After all, sorry about english errors, if have someone. </p><p>I build one form to use InfoPath Form Services in SharePoint and this form has 2 diferent views. The views are changed by &quot;status&quot; field, that change automaticaly when i press send button in each view.</p><p>My problem is when i put diferents fields in diferent views with option &quot;Cannot be blank&quot; in field property, i can&#39;t send the form to the library, because fields in another view need to be completed to send data. </p><p>So i need to maintain fiels with options &quot;Cannot be blank&quot; in each view and able to send to library anyway. </p><p>can somebody help me?</p><p>&nbsp;thanks in advance. <br /></p>
