InfoPath Dev

This might sound silly, but perhaps you can just add a few spaces at the beginning of each paragraph to accomplish what you want?

Hi there, I don't believe the behavior has changed between 2007 and 2010, so that strikes me as bizarre why your form would break all of a sudden.  InfoPath will store the raw data in the XML and rely on data formatting to display the value as a currency which has been the model since its conception.  What is your scenario for ...

You can export your form to Excel in the file menu.  Otherwise, there isn't an out of box way using rules or workflow that I'm aware of that can do this.  Apparently there is an Excel ActiveX that will let you do this programatically, though I myself don't know too much about it.

InfoPath integration with Outlook is limited at best especially when it comes to calendars.  I wouldn't recommend InfoPath for this solution.

You'll need to create a repeating control (table or section) that is bound to the secondary data connection.  Then inside the repeating control you can create a calculated value control whose value is the concat of those 2 fields that you mentioned.  That should allow the data to repeat rather than only give you the first row. Eval ...

AFAIK, the only way to do this through the UI is through that contextual menu that you were describing.  This is good usability feedback for MS that you should mention to them :)

If you want to get a specific row of repeating data you'll need to specify the row number in your xpath.  Something like: /my:myFields/my:CommoditySummary/my:Line_Items/my:Commodity/my:Origination[current()].  The index should be on whatever node is repeating, so that may be the commodity group in your case.  This is for the ...

Are the users on the same domain as where the form is located?  Is the form making any data connections to somewhere outside of the form's domain location?

Try fiddling around with the styles and see if that fixes your problem.  You can also try select all (ctrl+a) and replace all the text to fix the problem too.  Removing and adding the bullets might work as well.

What do you mean by show up in the SharePoint library?  Do you mean as a promoted field? The file attachment should appear on your form as long as the control is in the view.
