the solution is to use ItemMetadata.xml as a data source. What this does is make your form look for corresponding data fields from the workflow.  So what happens is, the first time the form is opened, ItemMetadata won't find anything to map so the fields will be blank. But any future time you open the form, it will fill the values in if ...

Something odd has been happening lately on my Sharepoint site that I can't figure out because it used to work the way I expected. Tasks created by a workflow in Sharepoint do not link to their corresponding InfoPath Forms like they used to.  Clicking on the task takes me to the detail view of the Task item, rather than the ...

I am doing something similar right now but using a workflow. I don't know how you would achieve what you want without a workflow. I would go with a state machine workflow and have it trigger everytime a new form library item is created. then you can easily transfer data between the 2

If it doesn't work in Design Checker, it definitely will not work. What I do, is not enter the formservices.asmx portion of the URL. I just add the address of my site collection and then INfopath is smart enoguh to derivce the path to FormsServices. For example, I enter something like: 111.111.1.11/sites/SiteName  when I ...

I am guessing the template prob needs to be activated to your site collection in your SP Central Admin site.  Thats what I had to do get my non-workflow associated forms to work in SP

 I really doubt that you will find a solution to this because if that was possible, it completely destroys the integrity of a digital signature and thus renders it useless. The presumption is that if a form has been signed, it cannot be modified whatsoever without invalidating the signature.

I am using Infopath Task Forms with Workflows and MOSS.  In my workflow code, I routinely set values of an InfoPath TaskForm with values passed from another Infopath Task Form using TaskProperies.ExtendedProperties. My problem though is that somehow this method doesn't work when trying to retrieve values from a Sharepoint document ...

 is there any way to Debug the process that sends the data from the Workflow to the Infopath Form?

 the way i would accomplish this is dynamically get the questions from your database based on the value of the dropdown. you would add a web service call on a rule that gets triggered by the dropdown value change. The webservice would have an input parameter that gets the value of the current dropdown item. hope this helps.
