InfoPath Dev

Hi Twirlaround and welcome to our forum, Thanks for taking the time to donwload and install our software. You have specified the set field rule correctly and it should work, but if you are setting the default value for the field, please make sure that the data connection has been queried first. Go to Tools->Data ...

Hi Catharine, Your setup looks correct. Setting up the combined key where one of the items is a foreign key is an interesting scenario (and not one that I have seen before). I'm going to ask our testers to look into it. In the meantime, can you just create a separate int column in the child table that is a primary key and have it increment ...

We have updated the installation guide with instructions on how to do this.

Hi again, For InfoPath forms with a main data connection to a database, InfoPath adds an xdoAdo xml element to the end of your XML payload (the data sent to the database). This element contains original data. InfoPath compares this against what's in the database to prevent from making updates on top of stale data. In other words, ...

Hi Bill, Thanks for contacting us. Your form is quite complex - you have many tables and multiple foreign key relationships. It is difficult to maintain the database mapping for such complex forms and that is a common problem that InfoPath users experience due to limitations in the DB data connection logic.

Hi Parriwg, No idea. Should be the same. Please check the security level for your form and make sure they are both Domain Trust (Tools -> Form Options -> Security). Make sure that the Organization data connection is in the same domain. You can go to Tools -> Data Connections and select the Organization data object and view the URL and ...

Hi Sam and welcome to the forum! Absolutely, this is one of the most commonly used features of InfoPath. In the InfoPath Designer, go to Design Tasks and Views. You can create a new view there by clicking Add a New View... You'll want to add rules to switch the views. You can do this on load (Tools -> Form Options -> Open and Save -> ...

Hi James, I suppose it depends on the copyright laws in UK. In the US, my understanding is that certain elements of a form (for example, icons) can be trademarked, but the layout of a form cannot be copyrighted. Of course, if you have code behind the form and that code is not obvious to someone skilled in the art of coding, it could be patented. ...

Hi Val, Sorry to hear that you are having problems. I have never heard of this problem before. I'm glad you checked the Qdabra Event Log - that's the first thing I would want to know is whether or not you found errors in the log. Since you didn't, it's likely some other issue. Might be related to the ...
