InfoPath Dev

Yes I did. I published the form to a Sharepoint library and opened using the "Create New" document button in SP. Then it opens in the browser. This time it send the email, but with the default view in the body of the text. I did make sure that the view switch happens before the email is send out. It seems that it would almost need a time ...

I think this might be a stretch, but I am building a form for a manufacturing location. They do have a people directory and for the full-time employees the people picker works fine. No issue there. Here is my question though: they occasionally have temporary contract employees performing some of the functions, and of course they are not in ...

Did you test in the browser, like I mentioned? As I said in my post, in InfoPath preview, you'll get a blank email with the view switching technique.

Okay I get the idea now. I can see that the View switches to Email before Sending. But for some reason, when I submit all I see is a blank email with nothing in the body. I tried to mimic what you did in your sample form on a form that I created (attached), but the results are the same. Blank email. The text that is supposed to be on the email ...

I should add, I just tested this on a SharePoint 2013 server I have access to with a regular (i.e. not a list) form and was able to paste into a rich text control. Both in and not in compatibility view. The user experience was pretty bad, with IE asking consistently for clipboard access and a bar across the bottom popping up about allowing blocked ...

I don't usually include all the form info in the email. Just a little info and a link for the user to click to open it. Here's a sample. You should publish this to a test library, because switching views to send email only works in the browser - in preview you'll get a blank email. Usually, there would also be a rule to close the form ...

Thanks for the screenshots - one last question, is this a SharePoint List form (modified in InfoPath) or a "normal" InfoPath browser form (submits to a library)?

Hi Linda, just wanted to say thank you for this, and sorry i haven't responded. I'm still working on form, it's just taken a back seat at the moment.

I didn't quite understand your recommendation (Sorry, I am a newbie with InfoPath). I created a Email View and essentially copied everything from the Default view in to the Email view because I have a lot of fields in the form. So I have essentially duplicated the view, which I am sure is not what you are proposing. :-)   "Set ...

Hi Hilary, it seems i cannot attach 2 pictures on the same post, i have attached the second screenshot in this post, this is in Firefox.
