InfoPath Dev

Is it possible to create a calculated field that is not bound to a text box but will still function? I have a need to do some complex math using a bunch of number entries in an InfoPath form, but the results are only used in a specific SharePoint list View. I do not need it to show in the form itself. My first thought was just adding a ...

Good detective work! Try this one - I moved the total hours from a default value to an action on the BegDateWN / EndDateWN fields - on the second rule where you are setting the work days. You'll want to test this carefully in the browser tho - sometimes browser forms can be a bit more persnicketty, so something that is working in preview may ...

Thank you so much for your help! From what I can see, the error seems to result from the variable "totalhours" which calculates a value using "workDays" to calculate total working hours. Do you know the best way to go about doing that without getting an error for number of calculations exceeding the maximum limit?

I've gotten you a little closer, I think - save the attached file locally, right click, select Design and then you can preview, etc. The main diff I saw between your form and the sample you linked is that your form is a SharePoint list form, so you don't have plain date datatypes - even if the list is set to only display dates, it will ...

The variables within this form that I'm working with to calculate the business days is "firstday", "lastday", "BegDateWN", "EndDateWN", and "workDays". I think the issue arises with BegDateWN and EndDateWN. When using the design checker, I get a warning which states "The custom control has ...

I don't know of any specific pointers on what you may have in your form rules that is causing this - but I'd be happy to take a look at it to see if I can help you. You can attach a copy of your form under the Options tab in a reply.

So - this isn't easy. It would be nice if it was. I'm guessing your intent is to have a table that the user can fill out - with just the first column pre-populated? If you just need to display the data, you can do that from the secondary data connection. If you need to store data that the user enters into the form, it is trickier. You ...

Done! :)

I am attempting to follow the alecpojidaev instructions to calculate the amount of working days between two date pickers on my own form using this link: https://alecpojidaev.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/infopath-codeless-programming-walkthrough-2/ . However, after copying his rules directly from his form and running it on my own form, I continue to ...
