InfoPath Dev

 Hilary , The first condition in the blosg is : if Check-out-to is not blank .  Why we want to checkout the file if there is some name in the checkout field .   may be you mean that if check-out to is blank , right !!! 

 Thank you DerekS , I will read these chapters from this book . and the form with calculating filed giving the actual approval final status . I just use workflow to only assign task and remind ppl if they are late and to shut the task if the person did a decision in the form it self .   Thanks  

 I would suggest doing the heavy lifting on the form itself, or use a simple approval process that has it set in series, whereby it'd go to each department or specified persons in the order you select before the form becomes "live and editable."

 Hi again,  I tried your solution and it's working fine, when I test the form in InfoPath. After publishing the form to SharePoint I get this error:   Destinationsprogrammet blev ikke fundet (program-id: InfoPathGUPBN). Der blev føjet en post til Windows-hændelsesloggen på serveren. ...

Thank you DerekS for the example and analogy. Both help me learn. Thank you Hilary as always.
