InfoPath Dev

Hi Jimmy,  Currently the form isn't required to work on the web, but in the future it may need to be available to workstations without InfoPath. My other concern is maintainability -- once this project is done, a non-technical person will need to update the default info in the form from time to time, and I don't anticipate ...

Hi Ernesto, Thats not really a helpful answer as you are using text field controls, where I am using Date Picker controls, so not really a like for like comparison. The condition in the control is if Manager Selected (which is a tickbox) = false the Disable the control, so it's not a complicated condition.  Then, if Manager Selected = ...

Hi Richard, I just tried this in my environment and it worked. In my example, if the Customer Name columns is blank, the Phone Number field is not displayed. I'm attaching a screenshot. Please review your form; there may be an error in the condition? Hope this helps!

Sounds like you have a lot of controls sending data back to the server (Postback settings = Always).

I'm pretty sure that it's not possible to print from a button in a browser form. Could users just click the print button in the Ribbon?

Hi Shraddha, Unfortunately, with that many records, the data connection is bound to be slow. One alternative is to have users search. The data connection would return only results that match the search term and load those into the dropdown. Sadly, I don't believe that InfoPath allows this out of the box. You would need to create your own ...

Hi Mil, What you're looking for is called "cascading dropdowns". A Google search will yield a wealth of information, with different tutorials and methods. Here's one: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2004/03/24/create-dependent-drop-down-list-box-in-infopath-using-filters.aspx. Hope it helps!
