Hi, If you're familiar with Qdabra's tool called qRules, one of its growing list of useful commands is called QueryData. This allows you to query a web service data connection and specify the timeout duration in seconds. The command syntax would be in the format QueryData /dsname=MyDataConnectionName /timeout=120. Feel free to check it ...

Hello Joy, You might be able to get around this by using a list template file (STP file). Here's a link on how to copy or move a list (including its XSN and list data which is optional) by using a list template: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/sharepoint-server-help/copy-or-move-a-list-by-using-a-list-template-HA101782479.aspx. Hope that ...

Sorry I should've asked first - are your forms in a SharePoint library? or are they SharePoint list forms?

Hey Dru, Thanks for providing more details. It seems you'll need to add the RefreshSharePointListItems command into your form. Please follow Hilary's yet-another-excellent guide here.

To build this link, you also need to know your form's file name. So your link would be something in this format: ...

A multi-selection box by default is added as a repeating field. I've thrown a quick sample form for you to try - take a look at the not-so-complex schema in the data source tree and how the controls are placed on the view (sections inside a repeating section bound to just one repeating group). I've added some default rows (Data > ...

I'm not finding a way to do this out-of-the-box but qRules would definitely allow you to do this. It has a command called CopyTable - it allows you to copy repeating data from one table to another. If you don't have qRules yet, you might want to try it. Here's a link to download a free trial: ...

Hi Edward, If you're dealing with repeating structure, those optional sections should be added to the repeating group where they belong, so yes you'd have to move them. To avoid controls being added to the bottom of the data source tree and having to move them, before adding the control, select the node in the tree where you want to place ...
