InfoPath Dev

 Thanks again. Just to get the setup clear in my head (as I keep confusing myself) if you were looking to create a front end (form base) with a back end (data store list\library etc) which is a glorified access database with forms and tables,  what would the preferred method used be? Would you create a data connection library or a ...

 Im not sure how I missed that - thank you. All is working as expected I shall test further.  Just to reiterate my previous words - thank you for all your help on this its greatfully appreciated. 

 Scrap my last message Ive got the query list on form load working and so the form displays previously submitted entries on load - wooohooooo :) All I need to do now is work out how I make the form available for people to fill in as when I launch the link after publishing all I get is a list view of whats been submitted not a ...

Thanks Hilary (I'm slowly understanding the process and how the forms interact with SharePoint lists).  A list is exactly what I want to achieve (which is now working when submitted which I tested from within InfoPaths preview function).

 Hi, I hadn't realised (still finding my feet with InfoPath) when you create your form and plan to publish to SharePoint you get the option to create the columns for the form - great. Can someone please tell me, when you get this option you also get a dropdown in the functions section as below. What does this apply to? I know what ...

 Hi Hilary,  I know exactly what you mean in my head it makes sense but in the content of this forum its clear as mud :) The idea is that the users can see all items in the list weather they are active or not. I know what you mean by the list is going to grow legs but I think that'll be a phase 2 as to if its massive then ...

 Maybe Im going about this the wrong way and should be looking at an Access type approach where the form is just an interface to the backend - which is what InfoPath + SharePoint is isn't it?
