InfoPath Dev

Hmmmm, I wasn't able to get this to work with my Expression Box. Here's what I did: Uploaded the file you provided to a Document Library on my sharepoint site:   Created a data connection to the file:   I then modified the Expression Box formula:   The XPath expanded looks like this: concat(@RelDateA, ...

Okay, I see. So with this xml file it doesn't really matter where it's stored, right? As long as I can make a data connection to it should work, right? I'll try it now -- I'll put it on the SharePoint site that the form lives and see how it goes. I'll also report back to let you guys know how it went. :)

You totally lost me on that... :(

Interesting that there's a few having this challenge. I need to bind my control to a Secondary Data Source, so whichever control works best, I'm all for. Currently I'm using an Expression Box because it allows a formula to be used. I've used concat to display mulitple columns of data from my SharePoint site but they just come out ...

[quote user="Stavi"]do you mean paragraph breaks? (as infopath calls them) I know how to get paragraph breaks into a concat function however expression boxes ignore paragraph breaks :( It does work on text boxes though[/quote] How so?

Okay, the main problem was "Dates" didn't exist as a field in my Offering Details list. I added it and then it appeared for use in my workflow. Unfortunately I couldn't use it as a "Date and Time" field as it will only accept one item, not multiple. I changed the field to "Multiple Lines of Text" and am ...

If you change that to 'merge', what happens? [/quote]Sorry about that. I included all of my steps for a couple reasons. 1) So I can ...

Okay, I was in error. I wasn't updating the List I was updating the Library. Fine. I'll jump off the next bridge in a bit and talk about the workflow between the Library and the List. For now here's what I have:   It's updated the "Title" field, but not the "Dates" field. How can I get it to update the ...

I wasn't able to simply double-click the Title field and set a Rule to add an item to the SharePoint list I wanted it to go to (Offering Details). I thought maybe the problem was that I had no Submit Options. So I took a look at the Submit Options and did the following:   Unfortunately when I double-click the Title field I'm ...

Okay, I'm pretty new to InfoPath so to help myself (and anyone willing to help me) I thought I'd go through the process I'm taking with this proof of concept. This goal is to make this work and then apply to some existing forms later.  My goal is pretty simple: Use an InfoPath form to populate one list in SharePoint (Offering ...
