InfoPath Dev

How I usually handle this is using a hidden field on the form to concat all the information I want and then add that single field to the file name in the data connection.  Ex. Text box named FileName.  On the submit button I would put a rule that said if this field is not blank, then set FileName to this value. Something like ...

Where they put their initials I assume would be a text box.  You could add a bottom border to that text box, and upon each new line being entered it will have that line below it.

My first question is why use code?  I ask because this can all be accomplished using some simple rules within infopath.  Though I do find it easier sometimes to use code myself.  Also the incrementing number would have to be saved in a list or database field.  A new form would be opened, query that field, add 1 to it, then ...

I would think not.  But the database will have to be in a networked or shared location for access and to make sure you don't have out of date information. Someone that knows for sure can confirm my speculation. However, as a side note, a switch to sql server would be best or even a sql server express, which is free.

Maybe it is possible to use something like CutePDF or some other pdf "printer" out there.  On the form submit, maybe have the form print so to speak using the pdf writer as the printer and then they should or would be prompted to save to a location.  As a save to location could also be set as default in code.  I don't ...

the form open rules are under the menu bar.  I forget which one as I am at home, but it is the secondd or third menu option from the right side.  Click it a menu will drop down and then click form Options.  A new screen will open and a button will be there that says open or on open.  Click that and it will give you the options ...

sorry i missed a part, though of it on my way home from work.  In your conditions, add if your text box is blank AND eshop is equal to true.

Your e-shop check box should have a data type of boolean (True/False).  Set the default value to false. Lets say that box is called eShop.  Then on each text box, right click each one and under properties click data valadation.  Then once that brings up a screen, click Add. Within that screen your if statement shoudl be: eShop is ...

I am using infopath 2007 but most of my code is backward compatible with 2003.  If you are writing the code to be compatible with 2007, then I don't think you use xDocument.  In my vb.net code when referring to a text box I use: thisXDocument.DOM("xpath-to-field").text. In your case I think you need to use something like ...
