What kind of form? List or library? I mean.... won't any user who uses the list edit form (if this is a list form) have to have edit rights?

So - my guess is that you are using a dropdown for that State, and it is set to store the ID and display Title or something in the form. You could change that to store the same value as what is displayed, so that you are submitting the text instead of the ID. Or you could add another field and set that to the text value when the user selects the ...

OK! It worked! It was the fact that the ID was missing somehow from the sharepoint list. Now I have another problem. In form A, there is cascading logic (e.g., region > state) and when i look at that field in the sharepoint list, "state" shows up as a number. Is there something I can do to make it show up as the state, not the ID?

Hi Infopath devs Wondering has anyone ever come across an issue where your users both have identical Permission groups on SharePoint but one user can only ever attach one file to the InfoPath browser form and the other user can attach more than one? I have read elsewhere that users should have edit permission level to attach more than ...

Outstanding service, Hilary. You're a champion! Too bad InfoPath and SharePoint are no longer supported, but I'll keep coming back here if we run into any more issues in the future! Dan

Hi - as long as you have the ID number of the item from List A in List B (i.e., the user selects from a dropdown) you should be able to populate values in the List B form with data from List A. You'll need to use filters on your rules to set the values in your form, but shouldn't need any additional list. Can you tell me what is happening ...

 Ok, we figured this one out via email. We installed Fiddler, and ran a trace while using design checker. That told us which line in which view had the error.  For some unknown reason, InfoPath had added "scroll: auto" to the body tag style attribute in the view. Manually removing that allowed the form to pass design ...

Awesome - thanks for adding these details! :)

Also, for anyone else that reads this: I figured out what my error was with the previous format. The "zero or one," "zero or more" and "one or more" are modifiers, which must be added after the character pattern identifier. For example, I was also trying to figure out how to require 4 numbers, with the option ...

Dang - it works great for me too! I wasn't even aware that was a valid way to type the validation formula (and apparently was using the wrong search terms since I never came across the article you cited). As always Hilary you are awesome and I thank you for your help!
