InfoPath Dev

I'm sure Qdabra is excellent software and is a reliable company but the answer I am looking for is one that would point me in the right direction of solving the problem myself. I have development experience with C++ and ASP.Net but I am naive when it comes to SOAP and REST webservices and I am unaware of what happens when a form hooked up to a ...

My goal is to design InfoPath forms that can submit data to a SQL database via web services but also pull data from it to use as dropdown choices in the forms. The problem is that the places that these forms will be filled out will not have stable internet connections. What would be the best solution for this? Thanks.

For instance if I want to create a form that has a dropdownlist of clients to selects and those clients are stored in a datbase table. When I I go to write a web method to return that list of clients what should the data type be? Should it just be a List ? Also, call as many web methods as I want to in a form? For instance, an I populate a ...

If I needed forms to interact with a SQL Server database but also be saved locally in case an internet connection is not available what would be the best solution? Should I research on how to use a web service to bridge InfoPath to the SQL Server? What happens when an internet connection is not available? Can they save the forms locally and ...

I feel pretty uneasy on this matter at the moment. It seems that by default InfoPath forms do not launch in dialogs but by adding a script using the STSNavigate method you can make them popup. The problem I have with this however, is that you can only acheieve a full page refresh upon closing the dialog and it isn't a very pleasant user ...

 I have searched quite a bit but the info I get isn't helping. It seems the consensus is to save the forms as source files. How exactly do you do this with InfoPath 2010? When I customize a SharePoint list form and click save as, it only lets me save it as a template and not as an .xsn file. I also noticed that you can actually target ...

 Nice catch. I updated the regex to also handle a decimal format.  [\(.]?[2-9]\d\d[\).]?[ \-]?[2-9]\d\d[\-.]\d{4}   Matches:  200-200-0000 (200)200-0000 (200) 200-0000 200.200.0000   Thanks and everyone should definitely use this expression rather than the built in one for US phone numbers.  ...
