Here's my scenario: 1. On form load, I added a rule to check if a SharePoint field (from the SharePoint list my form is published to) is set to a string, say "enable". The rule sets a flag in infopath (boolean field) to "true". 2. On form submit, I added a rule to set the flag to "false". 3. The ...

I have a Date Picker where I need to set its year with a rule based on a dropdown of years, similar to this: http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/04/pre-select-year-infopath-date-picker-control/ Using substrings to get the day and month, I manually set the Date Picker using the formula: concat(number(substring(datePicker, 6, 2)), ...

If you use the "now" route, won't there be an issue when editing forms? For example, go back into the submitted form and change some fields, then click Submit again. Instead of overwriting the existing form like it should (an update), a new form will be created because "now" causes the form to have a new title. How to get ...

I have the same problem as this thread explains: http://answers.flyppdevportal.com/categories/sharepoint2010/sharepoint2010customization.aspx?ID=5cf6b0a9-b5c4-40c0-8499-1691ae6bcc5c Basically I have to select "Include data for the active form only" in my data connection to workaround the version history bug, but this causes a ...

When you copy a rule and subsequently delete another rule, the clipboard loses that copied rule for some unexplained reason so that it must be copied again.

My mistake, it is grayed out because the control is ALREADY Read-Only. Go figure! :)

Going to the properties of my text box on my form, under "Display" I see an option for "Read Only", yet it is grayed out unless I uncheck "Multi-line". I want it to be both Multi-Line and Read-Only. How can I achieve this?

Strangely, dragging the control for the Append changes text field shows no control at all when I actually open the form. Possibly because there is no text inside yet? I would think at least it would show a text area that is empty.

Ok, an update: I was able to get it working using Rules to set my form's field to the SP field, but it only works for if the SP text fields is NOT "Append Changes to Existing Text"-enabled. I did not think to just drag the data connection's field into the form, so I tried that with a text field that had "Append Changes to ...

Thanks. I already have the Query set up, and I am doing a rule with action to set the field's value. But, I am doing it on the Form Load control, not the text box itself. Does that make a difference? Sorry, I have limited Espanol skills :(
