InfoPath Dev

Hi Bob, I recommend adding buttons to your form that set fields with the same names as Outcome and PercentComplete. You may need to add those fields. When the user clicks Approve or Reject you have rules that run that set those fields and submit to SharePoint and close the form. The fields need to be promoted and available as web part connections ...

You could also add a condition to the first rule that controls whether it runs.

Please add a comment to Michelle's blog asking her about the issue. We can't support blogs that aren't on this site.

Best practice is to convert your data connections into Universal Data Connections which are externally defined using an XML file in a data connection library. Then, moving from test/dev to production is simpler. You just republish the form and if the UDC is relatively defined, move the UDC from the test/dev site to the production site and edit the ...

You probably need to use the current() function to make sure your context is set correctly. Search for that.

Yes, you can access the entire XML DOM and do this in code. There should be code samples online. We don't have time to write code for all forum questions. I recommend searching around and I'm sure you'll find something since it is definitely possible. We have InfoPath MVPs available for an hour of ad hoc consulting work too if you ...

Hi Dafydd, Office 365 should support anonymous submits. I think I remember seeing an Office 365 forum post suggesting how to do this. Have you tried searching the Office 365 forum?

Interesting solution to data migration problem. Why not just use Content Types and map the fields to similar site columns? Could save you a lot of time.
