 I would... but never mind.   just redid a simple insert of the hyperlink field from the data source of the job description drop down.   and now it works as I'd expect. no clue why it was being so difficult  thanks as always for responding to panic. I could attach the form for you to review...but it's ...

 I've been trying different things. basically, user selects a job title from a dropdown. below that I want a link to the position description for the job.  I tried making just a plain text with a link applied to it, and then pointed the hyperlink to the datasource of the picker on the field that has the link (not a ...

running out of ideas.   How to I have a hyperlink on a form that the url behind it will change as soon as an associated drop-down field changes?   I think my problem is that the displayed url is set on page load, and nothing I can do is forcing said field to reload with the new value. 

I'm responding to this as one of our users hit this issue today. The rest of us can load the form up from the sharepoint list just fine... she got the error message. tried the "move the mouse off the infopath window" trick, and Voila, it worked. I've got her checking a couple of things for me to see if we can't track ...

think i found the glitch. in my formula i have the quoted field name section separated from the quoted character section with ,[space]. When i remove the space, my problem goes away

I've got a field i'm running the formula translate(fieldname, "!@#$%%", "") trying to replace those characters with nothing...no space, no dash, etc. The way i've written it here...i get spaces as replacements. How do i get the characters deleted?

 the ctrl+mouse method was the first thing I tried... and doesn't work.  InfoPath looks like it is adjusting all boxes at once...but when you release the mouse, it only adjusts the last field selected.   I normally have my forms charted out in a table... but I often have to do more size tweaking as I find browser ...

 This should be an easy question...but I've got to be using the wrong search terms.  I have a bunch of dropdown boxes in a table. I want to grab all of them at once, and then resize them all at once... and so that they align on left and right edges. I've used programs in the past where as you could select all at once, and ...
