Hi again,
Great to hear. Sorry about the lapse in response. We try to respond but sometimes we miss them. I replied in e-mail with the contents.

Actually it was Matt's How to that got me going down this path. I appreciated his help but when I left this same question on that thread it went unanswered so I was hoping someone that watched this coding thread would have an idea. I am not sure which book you are talking about.

Hi Lalewicz,
Have you looked at Matt Faus's HowTo on how to update SharePoint lists using InfoPath? There is also an example in Chapter 9 of our book. I'm not sure either is what you want, but without understanding your requirements in more detail, my first response is to look at them. Send me or Matt e-mail, and we can help you with pointers.

Assigning data from fields to a caml 2ndary DOM

Lalewicz — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 12:35:37 GMT

I want to write some code behind a submit button that takes data collected from form fields and puts it in a caml file attached to the form as a 2ndary data source and submits it so that it calls the updatelistitems web service in sharepoint (which is all set up and already works fine).

If I have field1 field2 and field3 for example, how can I make the following structure acccept these values and submit?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Batch OnError="Continue">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="New">
<Field Name="field1"></Field>
<Field Name="field2"></Field>
<Field Name="field3"></Field>
</Method>
</Batch>

I know that it needs to end up looking something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Batch OnError="Continue">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="New">
<Field Name="field1">value1</Field>
<Field Name="field2">value2</Field>
<Field Name="field3">value3</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>

Thank you in advance for a push in the right direction.
