InfoPath Dev

Hi Rui, Sorry, but your images didn't make it into your post. Can you add them using the options tab? More soon,

Hi Jesse, I don't think you can fix how the cached values are sorted. You may be able to use a custom xsl:sort in your view or qRules Sort command to fix this when opening from workspace. Please attach your form and we'll take a look.

You're close. Add a default value to your IsMember field (Data Source -> double click field -> click Fx). Add a field or group and specify the repeating table and then click on the dropdown underneath and select the option "any occurrence of name". 

Hi Kerry, This will work fine in InfoPath browser forms. I assume that's what you mean when you say "web forms".

Contact me if you'd like to pay for a couple hours of expert time to implement. Otherwise, happy searching. :)

Hi Michael, Yes, you can map an InfoPath form to a SharePoint list. There are two techniques: CAML - out-of-box, but somewhat complex to implement qRules - third party plugin (free trial), but easier to create/maintain Qdabra has given free weekly webinars this year showing both techniques. Here's one from last January showing CAML ...
