my knee-jerk (politely called 'intuitive') response is to try double slash. // or \\ instead or even \/ or /\. This might sound strange, but in jScript a / (or is it a \) is a 'special character', so when you want a slash to be interpreted, you need double slash.... Just give each combination a try and see if it works, ...

Yes, thats sounds like something that could work. It's almost like having a user register at a web forum before posting. But it might be an extra step they are unwilling to have to take to use your forms. Could be a privacy issue too? What if they just start putting in colleagues details to retrieve their info! Or save incorrect details?

Have you used secondary datasources for the drop down list of ships? Use a similar method (or read up on secondary datasources) to retrieve the details of the selected ship from another secondary datasource using the selected ship field as the filter and copy those values into your main datasource fields as required.

on the conditional formatting to hide of the button you will need some conditions. repeating table is called my:repeatTable original/corrected field is called my:origOrCorr original hours is called my:origHours corrected hours is called my:corrHours The conditions you want are expressions with OR logic. count(//my:repeatTable[my:origOrCorr = ...

Have you got any rules on the field that might modify the contents in any way? I unfortunately don't have a solution, but across many applications I occassionally see an issue where rich text formatted paragraphs get the carriage returns interpreted in different ways. Some seem to strip the 'hidden characters' which make a ...

I modified this from somewhere - most likely an example form InfopathDev or Microsoft sample/example site. It's extra long to make sure it would fit any of my forms - and I couldn't use tile because then I couldn't have the 'top' of the image. It's intended for A4 forms oriented to the left of the view - table with of 630 ...

Can you delete the part of the path that you don't need and replace it with s:\ before you press the finish/publish button?

Patrick,  Yes I'm referring to Matt Faus's post. I can get his code to work. However, the page break appears on first page and hence it's empty. So I added Page break within a section (so I can apply conditional formatting to hide the control on first page). But in the Print Preview the 2nd table doesn't get displayed on ...

Hi Stara Raj, Yes, you can copy tables, insert rows, or remove rows if you write code. The qRules plugin also provides a way to do this if you aren't a coder. Here's another idea that requires no code: add default data to your form and hide the default data that is blank. :)

Hi JeeStirling and welcome, Glad to see you have explored this in depth. InfoPath includes the username function as part of it's xpath arsenal - add a rule that sets a field's value when your form loads to the value of username() - use the Fx button to look it up. Username() assumes that people are joined to the domain. Then you can use ...
