    Multiple infopath forms with some common sections

    Hi All, I have a requirement where i need to design 15 infopath forms which will submit data to 15 different SharePoint libraries. There are total 5 sections in each form and out of which 3 sections are common to all the forms which will pull data from a web service and populate the fields on the form. I dont want to create these sections in every form, so was planning to create template parts. But then i discovered that we cant set rules on form load in template parts. So now i dont have option to call web service on form load and set fields. is there any other option? Please help me with the same. A

    Perhaps add a helper field to your template part that sets all the fields you need. Then your form load rule would only have to set the helper field! So - you could have a Boolean in your template part data source (not on the form) called "set" or whatever, and then in your form load rules, set that field to "true" - the template part field would have the rules you needed. When they run, set the field back to false so it is ready to go again. Make sure the rules to set values only run when set = true.
