InfoPath Dev

ok what I meant was when I go File, Publish Form from InfoPath designer and select the Form Library location to publish to, that library which already have some data in the columns, just disappears after its published. The column names stays, just the data in the rows disappears. did that make any sense?

Hi,As the subject suggest, all my existing data disappears whenever I republish a form to SharePoint. (WSS 3.0)Anyone know how to prevent this? Thanks  

thanks, does that code go in the function XDocument::OnSwitchView(eventObj) bit? All I'm really trying to do is force mandatory fields on my views.

none of my views have any buttons that changes the view. The view changing bit is taken care of anohter software that is embeded in our wss.... I've been stuck on this for a long time now..

As I'm having problems with the customised submit buttons I'm not using them in my forms, so is there any other way to check for mandatory fields with the submit button in the toolbar?  

they are all set to submit. now I think I know what hte problem is.  in my sharePoint I have two different views, Home and Finance, and two different security groups: Finance_users (contibute and read access to Home view) Regular_users (read access to Finance view). When submitting a form the forms gets submitted to a form ...

when I use the "built-in" submit button it just overwrites it I think.. but it doesnt allow me to submit when I use my my own button. it works the first time. but then in other views it doesnt. the form just doesnt close or anything.

The filename is taken from a unique field in the form and it doesnt change in the other views. it should be the same. I have even ticked the "allow overwrite if file exists" but it still doesnt work.

I'd would love to use the my own button but there seem to be problems when using customized buttons. it only submit the first time. see thread: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/7901/28867.aspx#288670 

i want to disable the built in submit button if the value of a field is false. Can I do Condititional formatting on the built in submit button so that it becomes disabled if the value of a field is false?
