InfoPath Dev

Very new to InfoPath, SharePoint and XML. I've read the excellent Matt Faus and Scott Heim articles on how to submit a form to a SP list by using a CAML document. This works in the example the provide but I'm now writing the CAML document for an existing list and having trouble with the field types and field names. If the name is simple ...

Hi; I'm relatively new to infopath and have recently tried to create a form for my new employer by request. The issue being is its being more of a pain than it appears to be worth.

Hi, I have a problem when I make changes in my infopath form and try to publish it. It works fine as long as I do not use the newly created dataconnection (getting data from a list) in the form. The problem is that it does update all the existing forms already in the document library. However, when I create a new form from the updates are ...

I am trying a concept to control the workflow of a form. I am reading in a sharepoint list of emails along with the role of the users. A list might look like: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] || Admin [email protected]; [email protected] || Super Admin I save these entries on the form in an appropriate field for email and role.
