    Infopath to create two list items

     Hi,

     

    I have an InfoPath form where users can select many people from a lookup (i.e I have a list, which my InfoPath form uses a data connection to look up the users)

    If I select many users on the form, I need to create as many list items in the forms library.

     E.g. currently when you save the form, it saves the form to the form library , and that one form contains all the users selected.

    but what I need is many form FOR EACH user selected

     Any ideas?

     

    thanks in advance.

    Hi-

    The out of the box data connection to submit to a form library will submit the entire main data source as an XML into the form library.

    I don't know of a way to generate multiple/separate XML forms and submit each one individually. Maybe you could write some custom code or a web service to achieve this, but there's nothing in InfoPath that will help you to easily fulfill this scenario. Sorry for the bad news!
