InfoPath Dev

I am new to InfoPath. I need to create a form using infoPath 2013 form library. On form, I have four sections. All these sections have questions. Each question has Yes, No, N/A radio buttons. User needs to select one out of three options. For 'Yes', there will be 1 Point and For 'No' or N/A' there will be 0 points. I need to ...

 Ok so that was the wrong tutorial.  Will post again later with results.

Ouch, and that blog post was written 13 years ago. So, I think you are saying you are trying to use an InfoPath form to submit to multiple lists? There just isn't an easy way to do that out of the box - there are a couple products the company I worked for created for this specific need.

You may need to use workflows - you do need to use Outlook, if this is a Filler form. Have your form submit to a library and you can have a workflow on the library.

I have tried a test form, I even tried a form you yourself posted as an example, and no matter what I do outlook doesn't populate the e-mail.  Maybe it's an issue with the email client?  I tried outlook and thunderbird and neither worked.  I am using IP 2013 on Windows 10.  Does it always need to go through outlook to ...

It is one of those things that seems so very simple but can really be a pain. You basically need to "reserve" a number for each potential form in able to be completely confident that you won't have duplicates. There was a post here just a few weeks ago where a form designer had an accidental overwrite in a library because of two ...
