InfoPath Dev

Thanks, everyone for all your help!  I created a new SECTION CONTROL that I pasted the two fields I wanted hidden and just simply used conditional formatting on the SECTION and added rules.  It works just like I wanted.

That link explains how to set user information for a drop-down control.  I followed the directions and [I think] I applied the data connection to the section in my form.  What do I do now to make it hide the section??  Use conditional formatting??

How do you use that method in InfoPath?  Do you post it in notepad and save it as an XML file? I looked up GetUserCollectionFromGroup here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms772554.aspx Thanks

I thought user roles weren't supported by InfoPath Forms Services.............................

Can someone tell me the best way to hide two fields that are only viewable to a site administrator and hidden to a user?  I have an "Issue Tracking" form where I don't want users to fill out my "resolution summary" and "date resolved" sections. Thanks!

It wouldn't allow me to copy out the source files at all - it wouldn't even open as a CAB file.  I think it will be easier to redesign the whole thing rather than find ways to salvage, as it was a pretty simple form. Thanks for your help!

Here's the fix:  At the end of the Data Connection Wizard, check the "Allow overwrite if file exists" box, republish and resubmit form.  To prevent it from overwriting, a formula must be put in to change the file name.  

Thanks for the suggestion, Hilary.  It didn't work on this file - but I will keep it in mind for future forms!  I got this error message once I changed it to a .cab file: The form contains XML that cannot be parsed: An invalid character was found in text content. Line 1, Position 5 MSCF I am just going to have to redo the whole ...

I've been looking for the same thing, but WITHOUT code and I came across this: http://www.sharepointblogs.com/ssa/archive/2006/01/03/populating-infopath-fields-with-sql-data-using-managed-code.aspx Hope it helps!

No, there aren't any data connections to the database.  I can't open the manifest either (never saved source files).  It opens in notepad as a bunch of strange characters!
