Check your SharePoint log files - there may be more information there that can help you resolve this.

So, you are saying that you can't create a data connection in InfoPath to your web service? Or that you can't base a form off the web service you wrote?

I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time understanding your description. If you can attach a sample form (under the Options tab) it may help. In general, if you are looking to reference a sibling node you can use preceding-sibling or following-sibling - and I think that you are trying to reference a sibling by your description? Since you ...

Hi - switching views on submit will not make the form open with the last view used - so you may as well remove that rule action since it is causing other issues for you. I'd add a form load rule instead that switches to the view I want to use. You could add a field to your main data source for tracking the status for the form, for example - ...

You are probably querying on load - walk through your data connection wizard again (data connections, select the list, modify) and when you get to the last screen, deselect the checkbox indicating the query should run on form load.

You'd create a secondary data connection to your list - you may have already done this. Then, you'd drag the repeating data row from the secondary data connection onto your form ...

Worked like a charm.  Thanks so much for the help.

 Hi all,  I'm stuck on something I thought was simple but after quite a bit of Googling, I'm still stuck. Essentially: The InfoPath form is connected to a SharePoint list which just mirrors an Excel spreadsheet.  When I select an item in a drop-down (e.g. an Application Name), I want a read-only textbox/textarea below it ...

I created an infopath form with multiple views, I want to switch the view and close the form after user submits the form. I'm using the rules for Submit, the rule submits the form to the form library, then switches the view and then close the form. The problem is when the form closes, it shows the message The form is closed but it does not ...
