InfoPath Dev

 Bre, Thank you for your response. Through doing some research on this site, and others, I was able to change the default limit from 4096 to 20480. As I have just one set of users that will be uploading multiple attachments I have explained to them the consequences of uploading multiple documents as it relates to performance and speed. All ...

Hi Jari, What you'll want to do is use  validation rule on the text box. There are default patterns, and you can also create your own. You can set a pattern to be compared to an entry, and also give the user an error if they enter data that does not match the pattern. In this case, you could use the custom pattern: ...

Hello Phil, Attachment limits are something we deal with frequently in form design. Although increasing the limits may seem like the best rout, you may be doing your users a dis-service. The larger the attachments, the slower your forms will become and could even cause your forms to stop working properly. This is because the attachment sizes ...

 Alright thanks I'll just do that then. The form is not live yet 

Is this form currently in production? Has anyone filled it out? If so, you are now stuck w/ numbers for the values. But if the numbers don't actually have any meaning, and the form is not yet being filled out, you should be able to just change your dropdown so that the value and display are the same.

 No there isn't at the time, but I thought I may have a use for them in the future. Maybe you are right and I should just set both as the text.   And as for sharepoint yes. That is the whole purpose of this. The problem I was having is I want the dropdown selection to appear as text in the form library. Right now it is only ...

When you hardcode the options, they are in the view file (the XSL) - there are no functions in InfoPath for getting data back from the view. Is the company using SharePoint at all? Then you could put the data in a list - which is pretty easy to add items to if needed down the road. Is there a reason for using 1, 2, etc for the values instead of ...

 I was worried that that was the only option :(   I'm surprised there is no easier function for this. I wanted to avoid creating additional datasources because I am making this form for my company, and once my contract ends they will not know how to edit anything. Ideally I wanted to keep it as simple as ...

You'd have to add 16 rules on the field connected to the drop down. Each one would have a condition. For example, if the value of the field is "2", you'd set your text box to the "display" for value 2. It seems to me it would be a lot easier to create an XML file with the options, add it to the form as a resource ...

Basically the title says it all.  I have a drop down list containing 16 options valued 1-16. This was all manually entered and not from another datasource. How can I display the Text name in another box instead of the value?   I have tried many things and nothing will work!! Is there a function that can do this? Ideally I do not ...
