InfoPath Dev

 It sounds like what you want to do is a bit more than just pull and display data in the form. It sounds like you want to submit data to another site collection.  Are you just looking at making the same form available in multiple locations?  Or are you wanting the form in site A to submit the form to site B (possibly both, making a ...

Hello there, I am having almost the same issue, however I am having trouble following your suggestion. I need to publish my exiting InfoPath form in another site via the InfoPath form webpart, so that a new list item can be submitted from another site in the same site collection. I have created the data connection in the ...

 An owssvr.dll data connection can have a view parameter - but I don't know if those are supported in Office 365. May be worth a try? But if the idea was to dynamically change the view the data connection would use, since owssvr.dll connections are SOAP, that won't be possible using rules.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any way to query the data connection based on the view?

 When is your data connection running? On load? I'd maybe drag the data fields onto the form and add a button that runs the query, just so you can open the form, then test the query. What about non-REST web services? Maybe try a query on the User Profile service - same issue?

If this is Office 365, you aren't going to be able to use REST in a browser form, I'm afraid - a lot of the SharePoint web services are blocked from browser forms. Unfortunately - I can't think of a work around. Regular list connections have query fields, but those are only for equivalence, so that doesn't do you any good at all....

Try Notepad ++ with the XML plugin - it makes writing XML easy. Then you can just think about how you want the data structured... Another thing you can do is create a little InfoPath form with the data structure you want, then preview the form, fill out your data and save the XML (just File > Save) and ta-da! you have an XML file! :)

LOL - Hilary, I really didn't mean it as a challenge...:-) Your a Rock Star! this is exactly what I'm looking for. Think I should take some xml lessons, they look so easy script and really quite effective. I don't know what goes on in my head but I just become blank with a blank sheet of paper with xml. As always - Perfect ...

Any options for working around the REST / Office365 / Browser form issue? Particularly in filtering data connections with large number of items? Thank you, Jason

Hi -- I have a relatively large list (9k items) that needs to be a data source for another form library. I need to be able to query that list via a partial match of a text string to a column. I have researched and setting a REST data connection to the list and quering based on substringof works as intended if I leave it as a client form. In a ...
