InfoPath Dev

Hi Shiva, Hilary finally provided the clues that I needed.  1. I was not aware, originally, that a print view was a screen that was modifiable.     It makes sense in the infopath structure.. 2. A thought I had to add a control to an Expression box.      It wasn't until I tested one out ...

Yes, that was the key        you create an expresion box, add the string only, close the box        and apply the condition. I.e treat the expression box like a control.  I see the light!!! I presumed you could do it all in the one process. Thanks for that.

I am not clear on what you are trying to say. But, I am thinking that you mean, if I add an expression box to the Form, I can manage the outcome in the print view, is that what you are implying?

Hi Hilary, Following are 3 lines from the form. *************************************** I was explained the nature of the procedure including the risks and benefits of this procedure and the plan required.        And was given the practice handout to read. I was explained the natural ...

I am a newbie.  And discovering things new, and missed, all the time. I have highlighted my entire PrintView, set the all lines to autosize. But firstly, I notice that the minimum size is 4px. Secondly, is this sizing dependent on the row being empty of data? I have learnt that hard coded text on a form can be easily coppied to a Print ...

I find that if I am testing functions as has been suggested, In a Form without an external DB,I can quite easily add the new controls and new fields, and test the controls. But, it seems impossible to add them when I have an external Database connected.   Any clues where I am going wrong?

Thanks for that Jimmy, I have been looking every where else for the solution. But I am not sure where or why it was not appearing now. Just over sight I guess.  

Hi Hilary, I have been testing and developing with your advice, I think, however I have the following queries:- 1. The system has an external database, and because of that     I cannot add any field controls to a table row.     I had planned to add Temporary controls to a Print View ...

In the conditional format, you enter a field, an operator and a value.  I am having trouble with entering a null string. If I enter "".  on the final display """" appears, and on running the process, and the field is empty, the expected process does not  occur. Is there a special code for a null ...

Hi again Hilary, I have tested the sample you gave with blank field and so on. And it works, lines of text will not be printed with height set to Auto. Woah Hoo. Yes I use conditional formatting a lot. I have been using the Print view extensively as from yesterday after you recommendation. Is there anyway I can hide a line of hard coded text ...
