InfoPath Dev

It is possible - query the list to get all items back, sort by ID desc. so that the first item will be the highest number, and add one to it. You need to be aware that if multiple users are querying the list at the same time you have a chance of more than one getting the same number. ...

Makes you want to tear your hair out sometimes, right? So - both of these are list forms?

 And... Just did a little test. Made another list, added a PP field to it, built a simple InfoPath form, and it doesn't act the same way my other one does. On name check, the simple form doesn't give an error... just shows the username in italics.

If I type a partial last name in the text entry box of the picker, and hit check names, InfoPath will pop up a window with a list of name suggestions. If I embed the form in a SharePoint page, or just call it from the list in SharePoint, when I put in ...

Hi there, Since migrating to Office 365 I have sporadically encountered issues whereby some clients can no longer directly open their InfoPath forms from the library. It appears to coincide with standard patch updates. As a workaround the form can be accessed through the datasheet view with some limitations or else opening the InfoPath ...
