InfoPath Dev

Hi Patrick, Thanks for the detailed explanation. Before I continue, let me list the constraints that I have to work with: I don't have access to IT resources, so unfortunately setting up a SQL server is not feasible. I'm pretty much stuck with a solution using InfoPath 2003 and SharePoint 2003. I don't have a budget to purchase ...

Hello, I have a form library that has a bunch of forms and one Archive subfolder in it. Currently the Archive folder is at the bottom of the list by default. I'm trying to configure the view such that the Archive folder is at the top by default. When I manually sort descending by Type (the icon column), I was able to get the folder to show at ...

Hi Clay, I will give you a concrete example... In my InfoPath 2003 form I have two repeating controls: A 'Books' field that uses a bulleted list control to allow users to list books they own.

Removed an extra <option/> tag that was somehow introduced into the code (InfoPath 2003 bug?) that is creating ...

[quote user="adamrharding"] Hi again Easiest way is to double click on the control for the drop-down box and go into the "Advanced" tab. Then add the placeholder Select... It will not appear in the list but will remain their until something is selected. [/quote] Hi Adam, I just checked the drop-down box ...

[quote user="Clay Fox"]Hey Tom. Is the calculated field in your default view? The data connection does not return all fields only what is in the view. If a field is not in it you will not get it in your secondary dom. Just wanted to check.[/quote] Hi Clay, Yes, the calculated "Full Name" field is in the default ...

Hi Adam, I don't have my work PC here, but I will try your suggestion for #2 on Monday. Regarding #1, the concatenation is already done on the SharePoint side (via a calculated field that concatentates First Name and Last Name), but the calculated field is not included in the data connection that is used to populate the droplist. It seems ...
