InfoPath Dev

This may be a silly question, but can this tool be used like a mail-merge to automatically create individual infopath forms based on a single template for each row of data in Excel? If so, when the tool creates the form can it submit it in a sharepoint list and once created can I start custom workflows from that list that ...

If you already have permissions set up correctly on each of the folders, it just sounds like you need to build logic in your form to know which folder to submit/save the data to.  I believe you can just create separate submit connections to each of these folders (I haven't done this with folders exactly, but I know it will definitely work ...

Wow...that was a quick response. I will watch the webinar and let you know. I just can't watch it at work. We have youtube blocked. Thank you so much!

Hi there! I just gave a webinar yesterday that sounds like may be useful for your scenario.  Check out the recording of the webinar and let me know if you have any questions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEig8O4so0I&list=UUevFL_5LD2E2t9SxCle35iw&index=1&feature=plcp

I wouldn't recommend using InfoPath if you need to display all 700 lines and 5 columns on a single view at the same time.  You will run into performance issues especially if you want this on the browser.  If you can filter the data somehow, or split the data up into multiple views then InfoPath may be a viable solution for you.  ...

Not sure if I'm understanding your scenario correctly, but I included a sample xsn that may be useful for you.  The text box on the bottom will sum all of the second column in the repeating table for rows where the first column is equal to "a".  You'll need to just use the sum function on the repeating field and add a ...

Take a look at the sample xsn I attached.  Enter different data on each row of the repeating table then click on the button on the right.  It will set the value of the text box up top to the value of given row.  Is this what you are looking for?

Ok thanks very much for the tip I will give that a try. I was just of the understanding that the standard submit button would cater for this. Hopefully this works but the only concern I have is for the forms that require this function they would have the submit button in a difference place - assuming I cant overlay my new submit button over ...

Hello! I need to create a web based form that will be used for our bonus program. We need one form for each employee and we have almost 1000. We have SP 2010 and Infopath 2010. I am a newbie, but have created a few forms that are working. Each form needs to have item level security applied. I do know how to accomplish this with a workflow as I ...

That does sound strange!  How are you pulling in the data for the description?  Is it being stored in a SP list that you are retrieving using a data connection?
