InfoPath Dev

I have a form that has multiple views. The data connection is a sql database. When I open the form and query by name I can search all I want -- no problem. When I make a change and submit then when I click on a button that brings me to another view it only remembers what I queried the last time. So if I query smith, make  a change to the ...

I understand and use the "Source=" to close the form and re-direct the user to the URL specified in the "Source=" section. But I don't believe that applies to opening the .xml file produced when a form is submitted. I need to know how to close infopath, not just the .xlm file, using rules if possible.

Yes, submit options can include closing the form. Regular rules can also be added to close the form. However, closing the form will not close InfoPath if the form is opened in client (Filler).

I have had this happen before.. but I don't remember exactly how I fixed it. I think it had to do with the submit button I created? I believe I changed the submit button to Submit vs. Rules. Then within the submit options I added my rules. Under advanced I told the form to close.. Or I just re-created the submit button.. Pretty sure it has to ...

You are correct if you are referring to the data in SharePoint. You have to use the form itself to view the data. You can use SharePoint to search for the form? Like I said.. depends on what you are trying to accomplish?

I tried using a Rich Text field and all of the data still wants to come out on one line instead of having the date on separate lines.

You can open it in IE - Here's an MSDN link on browser form Query Params. OpenIn is the one you are interested in. I'm not sure how you'll close IE, tho.

Hi Jimmy, I know this is an old post, but I hope I can continue it.  The mso-infoPathSolution gives me the xsn filename, but not the xml filename saved using that form.  What I'm looking for is the filename of the xml file.  Is that possible? Regards, Karen

I have the form open in a browser but when it is submitted I have a workflow designed to send a link to the approvers. I am using the "Encoded Absolute URL" method in the email that is sent. The URL has within it the <name>.xml. When the link is clicked the .xml file opens in InfoPath, as opposed to IE. It is this infopath that is ...

I am also having this problem. Are there any solutions? And if not, could you please post here and let us know?
