InfoPath Dev

With that need now clear, can someone help me write two pieces of code: 1) Check for any errors (required fields without values) and if found, display message 'required information missing', and return user to the form. If not found, submit the form and close the application.

I need the rules so I can get InfoPath to close itself when the user Submits. The Submit options only support closing the form. In my case, that causes confusion for the users who don't know anything about InfoPath. Is there another way to do this? If there is, then I can eliminate the code and my form should then behave as I would expect and ...

I've given this a college try -- searching the InfoPath TechNet forum and looking at the Developer's reference. Something like this would work, I guess, but I have the syntax all wrong: function CTRL19_5::OnClick(eventObj) { if (XDocument.Errors.Count >; 0)         XDocument.UI.Alert(''Required information is missing.'')         ...

Thanks for attempting to help clear the smoke, Greg. I'll respond by your numbered replies. 1. Bless you. 2. I do have the ''cannot be blank'' checkboxes checked. The submit does fail, but the user doesn't see it because the close application code runs and ''poof'' it's over. 3. Thank you for the clarification. That's the behavior I was ...

Thanks for the information, Patrick. I'm still a little confused. First, I'm curious why I even have to get into all of this. I have controls that require values. I have a Submit button which has a Rule to Submit and then Code to close the app (they both execute, although you mentioned it's either one or the other?). Why does InfoPath let ...

Can you tell me more about either of these options? I'm relatively new (perhaps obvious by the number of posts) and have no coding knowledge. Two points I'd like to clarify; 1) In the Submit button properties all Rules execute before Code, correct? It's kind of odd that they put the Code button on top of the Rules button. It gives you the ...

I have form with numerous required controls. My Submit button uses Rules and Code as follows: Rule 1 - Submit to Data Connection Code - Close App. I would like it to behave so that if the user doesn't enter all the required information, they can't submit the form. I tried modifying the Submit button this way: Rule 1 - Long list of OR ...

Why couldn't you use the Master/Detail control and have it link by the Issue ID key field? I've tried to drop in the Master/Detail control, then change the binding of the ''master'' part of the control to point to my Sharepoint issue list. The problem is that when I do that Master/Detail tab of the Repeating Table (master control) properties ...

I would love to get a printout of a Sharepoint Issue List that has each issue with its history records as child records. Is there a way to do that with InfoPath? Thanks, Deb

Actually, I wanted that open dialog to be disabled so that when a user clicks the link they don't have to answer the ''Do you want to Open or Save this form?'' dialog. Somehow I was able to achieve that with the link, although I don't have a clue what I did to do it. ;-) Thanks for your help!
