InfoPath Dev

So, the parent list is a list? Or a form library? Just trying to understand if you are using a SharePoint List form in InfoPath? I'm wondering - I can't recall if calculated columns are available with a standard list connection in InfoPath. If you are using SharePoint 2010, though, I bet the OData service would return your calc'd ...

Hi - InfoPath should already do this for you. You can add the new fields to your existing template, and under the Form Options, set the form to upgrade existing XML. You can even preview your form with some existing XML to see how it will behave (info here). Then, when someone opens the existing XML, it gets the new fields.

This seems like a perfectly good use of a secondary data source.  You will only start running into performance issues if your lookup list starts running into the thousands of items.  And if you need to support that much data in your lookup, you can mitigate any performance issues with filters.

You'd have to make edits to the form files - really, it would be faster just to re-create the schema from scratch in the data view task pane in a new blank form.

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, those fields are still locked.  What a crazy thing to do.  Is there any way to "copy" the schema but be able to make changes?  How frustrating.

If you base a form off an existing schema, the schema will be locked. Can you save the IP 2003 form as a different version and work from there?

Currently using MOSS, planning upgrade to SharePoint 2010.  I am trying to figure out if I need Enterprise or if I can get away with Standard. Standard does not include InfoPath form Services.  Will this affect my form libraries that use infopath templates?  Basically will I still be able to use InfoPath if we don't purchase ...

When she opens a new form by using the actual form library new button it opens as read only and tells her she's working offline.  That's really strange!!

Is SharePoint running SP 1 on one environment, not on the other? It doesn't seem like an InfoPath problem, really, but a SharePoint install issue.

Hello, I am trying to use a sample (Purchase Order) form as a starting point, as the main data source is pretty much what I need.  The template is a 2003 version, so I extracted the form files, and created a new form based on the schema file I extracted. Regardless if I open the original 2003 or the new form, my controls in the main data ...
