InfoPath Dev

I guess my concern is what you need to do with the data collected. If you don't really need to do much with it - sure, use Excel, create a workbook template. Access isn't too hard to use - you'd want to put together some data tables that resemble your current form data structure and then create a form for the data entry - at least then ...

Hello, I'm not sure if anyone would be able to help me with this or not, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! I am currently running InfoPath 2007 on a SharePoint 2007 server. All of our InfoPath forms are created through my computer but the templates are saved on the server once the forms are published. When I open and use an ...

Are you the only one who has InfoPath 2010 on your computer?  If so, most likely that is why this is happening.  InfoPath related forms, tasks and workflows default to the client side application first.  If it can not find the client application (InfoPath) it uses SharePoint.

Hello Jimmy, in my experiences I have had problems to submit the forms cause of the validation errors if I had limit the text field afterwards I have already filled out some forms without the limitation. Therefore I have written the warning about submitting forms with more than (in that case) 255 characters. But thanks for ...

Hi Jimmy, ...Life can be soooo easy... :-) That´s it !!! Thank you very much for your quick help...

Actually, I don't believe that's true.  It seems that the character limit does not cause validation errors to happen, even if the length is over the limit.  It just prevents the user from entering too many characters.

 Thanks guys I have just tried it in my SP site and what you state is correct  - all data is intact.  Thanks for the re-assurance :)

Hello chas805, no, you don´t need to be worry about loosing data. All the data will be there even with the new template. But you have to consider that you can´t submit an already filled form if you have to make changes of the data in the 'old' forms because every time if you want to submit a form where the appropriate field has more than ...
