InfoPath Dev

Forgot to mention - it is InfoPath 2007

Thanks for that Hilary. Before I saw your reply I actually submitted the form via a web service. The data connection wizard seemed to allow me to select my form field (combo box) and associate it with the web service property for the ID. I am also interested in your solution as I want to learn the xml side of things. I am just a little ...

Thanks for your reply. Are we saying then that we need to set a seperate data connection for each text box, combo box etc or can we set one and pick up the different methods within that one connection? Thanks

I am trying to do a common thing in other languages. My combo box stores the NameID and the Name itself. I am trying to pick up the ID of a combo box field and save it to a table that would hold the data of the infopath form. Is it possible to reference the control in code and pick up the ID so that I can send it to a save procedure?

There does not seem to be a form load event as in other languages such as VBA or VB.net. I was trying to populate my combo and text boxes from a web service. I have several combo boxes and at first I thought I could set a data connection to a web service to get the data. Unsure if this is the correct way of doing things. From there I thought ...

What about sending InfoPath forms via email........would web services be ...

I am brand new to InfoPath and find a few items confusing. Can you tell me when and why you should use web services to handle data for the InfoPath form. I understand there is the ability to show an InfoPath form in a browser and I wondered if this is when you use web services to return and write data. When writing the code for InfoPath ...

Thanks for the reply. Looking at the button it seems to be set for email. However, when I save the form (to any location) I notice there is an xml file which when opened displays my data. Would this be correct? Also I presume a form is not the same as a form say in MS Access. That is my confusion right now. When I see an InfoPath screen I ...

I am completely new to InfoPath and trying to understand how it works. I am using InfoPath 2007. Apparently if you are working with a local form it will cache the data locally. I filled out the sample expense report form and clicked submit. I cannot see where the data I entered is saved to. Is it in an xml file? I looked in ‘C:\Documents and ...
