InfoPath Dev

Hi Kerry, This will work fine in InfoPath browser forms. I assume that's what you mean when you say "web forms". Are your checkboxes embedded in the same sections or repeating sections as your employees? You may need to do some filtering to specify the employee correctly. You may also need to copy data into other repeating ...

Hi Chris and welcome! ComboBox is not what you want. Why? Because it encodes multiple values, so your comparison will fail since it can't parse out the value you want. Use a stock dropdown instead with one value and it should work just fine.

Hi Rocco Castellano and welcome, Yes, anything's possible with a little code. You could automate this with a custom workflow. We can help you but it's a bit more involved than a simple forum reply. Contact me if you'd like to pay for a couple hours of expert time to implement. Otherwise, happy searching. :)

You can filter it out. On the dropdown properties, check the filter button and specify a filter so it is not equal to something that has already been chosen. You can also check the box to avoid duplicates. Easy stuff.

Hi Big Dog and welcome! I recommend creating an InfoPath form that is not a list form. List forms are too limited (don't handle repeating data, etc.). Add the approval state as a field to the form and make this a promoted property (file->form options->property promotion).  That way, your ShP workflow can access it if need be. ...

I got the same error. I will ask someone else to respond. Thanks for your patience.

Hi Michael, Yes, you can map an InfoPath form to a SharePoint list. There are two techniques: CAML - out-of-box, but somewhat complex to implement qRules - third party plugin (free trial), but easier to create/maintain Qdabra has given free weekly webinars this year showing both techniques. Here's one from last January showing CAML ...

Hi Patrick, Thanks for the very prompt response! The thread mentioned does not provide much - my target column is already a Managed Meta data column.  I'm hoping your document would shed more light - I'm failing to open it however (404) : ...

Hi Stuart, Yeah, sounds like the InfoPath designer didn't clean up correctly. I would create a new view and copy the old view into it (using Ctrl-A/Ctrl-C, switch view and then Ctrl-V). If that solves your problem, you can set the new view as default and delete the old view. If not, you may want to spelunk the manifest.xsf. Go to ...

Hi Jan, I'm attaching a draft document that we have. Please let me know if this helps. There's also the following thread for reference: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/23876/82828.aspx#82828 Thanks,
