InfoPath Dev

Don't use the expression.  Just use the result and say "If field2 is great than XX, then do stuff"  Don't put the conditional formatting on field 2 - put it on field A, right?

I don't understand why this wouldn't be easily doable.  What is keeping your users from changing that data?  Are you displaying data from the secondary data connection?  If so, you need to put that data in a data element on your main data source, and then people can update it without trying to affect the data in the list.

If that's ok, then my idea is ...

You wouldn't do repeating views.  You'd do repeating sections on the same view so that they can request as many apps as they want.  You definitely don't want to repeat pages - that would get confusing and cumbersome.  Why do you consider it too many questions on one page?  It's the same # of questions no matter ...

Not that I know if.  It's just a simple action when using SharePoint Designer.  You connect to the site, create a workflow, tell it to run on a new item creation, make an action that checks in the document.  I don't think you need an article for that, but you can let me know if you have any problems while building it.
