Yes, the best practice is to have a button with a rule that has two submit actions and a query. First submit will submit it with your natural Now() key (also, make sure this value is stored somewhere in your form). Second action is the query - just query the library to get the SharePoint ID assigned to the form that you just submitted. Since ...

What's the behavior if you change the boolean parameter from false to true?

Yes! Here's an xpath you can use: count(../preceding-sibling::my:group)+1 Replace my:group with the repeating group node above your field. Best practice is not to make the field repeating, but rather the parent group. Good luck!

Hi Dom80, I don't know why this is happening. We have seen a lot of bugs in 2013 and we are cautioning customers to wait a few more months for the patches. I'm not saying this is the case but it could be.

Hi JRicoRod, I think Greg did an example of this back in 2005 - check out Downloads->Samples (it may use C# though). Here are the techniques I can think of:Code - launch InfoPath form from existing and pass it a pointer back to current. Target form uses pointer to get data. This is Greg's technique in the samples.Input Parameter and ...

Hi Den12, Thanks for the great post. Does your form use REST or does it pull all of the entries into the form? REST partial queries can be a bit slow when executing on large data sets. For the latter approach of filtering in the form, it can lead to lags on load or when the data is queried. Obviously, depends on the amount of data - short ...

One more comment. I think the out-of-box technique may require adding an item to the calendar and this may not scale to your scenario, but it will work until they open the ics via the link. Then, you can create a simple workflow that removes it (or use the qRules delete feature on submit).

Hi Ed, You should be able to redesign the form's layout in InfoPath Designer to make it look beautiful. The data is separate, so the view modifications won't affect the underlying database connections. I recommend just replacing the whole view. Put your cursor in it, press ctrl-a to select all and hit the delete key. Then, start adding ...

[quote user="Den12"] I need to take a break here, but will continue with the details later, where I will post details about rules used for the filters. [/quote]  Hi Den12, This is great and I have already completed this much. Also I have put some rules but it does not seem to work. I have used formatting rules which have ...

[quote user="Den12"] Most web searches on Infopath & wildcards filtering still deliver either code-based solutions via ADO & Database use or REST approch mentioned here. Unless I am missing an important detail, I was able to do partial-match search on SP List & Form Libray Forms data with Infopath 2010. Screenshot ...
