InfoPath Dev

Indeed.  I am using IE6.  Thank you for the information about IE7, I will add that to my documentation.

Thank you for explaining that Mr. Rishe.  Good problem solving on using the is blank to make it so the field would only get populated once. I hope we can get by with only 2 approvers (when the form is being held up).  We are doing this so that if a manager is out of office, the form won't get held up as badly. Thank you Mr. ...

Alright, I just published the form and discovered that the field changes in the browser, but not when I preview it with the client.  Wierd stuff... Still, it has not solved my problem.  It is merely referencing AccountId.  So when AccountId changes, so does the field.  This is not always what I want.  I want to save the ...

Right, right.  Sorry I didn't clarify that I had tested it when selecting a contact in the Contact Selector.  I have also dragged and dropped the AccountId field, which is behaving normally (changes to domain/user when a contact is selected).  However, Field1 does not change along with AccountId.

I have tried attaching it to both AccountId and Field1 (a text field).  All of the rules I have made are behaving strangely when I have been testing them.  For instance, I want Field1 to equal 0 if AccountId is blank.  I boot up the form, Field1 is not equal to 0.  So I infer that AccountId is not blank even though its ...

Thanks Jimmy for the response.  I have tried using rules but the value of AccountId won't store.  For example, I have tried: When AccountId is not blank Then Set Field1 = AccountId as well as tests using contains etc. but it won't store AccountId in Field1 for some reason.

Thanks again for the response.  F.Y.I., I am creating a browser form solution. I am really a newbie using repeating controls in InfoPath.  I dont even know how to pull a given field out of a repeating table (i.e. row 2 column 2 - how do I get that value out of a repeating table?).  Also, I am not understanding how you would store ...

Thank you for your reply Mr. Halstead. Sorry about the confusing scenario.  I'll try to clarify it better: Essentially, I am making a Workflow where, initially, the requestor will be limited to choosing 1 contact.  After the form is submitted to SharePoint, I will wait say 1 day for the person selected in the Contact Selector ...

To give you an idea of my situation: I want someone to be able to reopen a form and choose another Contact in the Contact Selector.  I want to store the AccountId information of the contact they previously selected as well as the AccountId information of the contact they have now selected. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the advice.  I was hoping for a different solution because when a designer goes to modify the form, they will have to do about 2x as much design work (since they must alter both the default and print views).
