InfoPath Dev

I am not very familiar with rules but I'm looking at them now. can you please guide me? I have a text field, a button and a dropdown box. do I create the rules on the button to: submit using a data connection? how does it then populate the dropdown?

I made a mis-statement in my previous post.  It is possible to modify your data source, by adding new nodes underneath the root myFields node.  If you do this, you can set up the correct field structure, and then copy the concatenated value to one of the query fields.  To design a data source from scratch, you can select Blank Form ...

Dear all, in a infopath form which I created is there at the end a quick check if the amount in column A is the same as the eventual total sum. The only disadvantage is that the amount in column A is a fixed amount, for example: 150,00 EUR To calculate to total amount, a few steps go by, but at the end they have to take X-percent of the amount. ...

Any reason you're using code to do this?  Ordinary rules should do the trick.

I have a webservice and I want to pass a string to it and it should return an array of strings that populate a dropdownbox. Right now I'm at the point where if I hard code the value that I'm passing to the web service it will populate the dropdownbox. yay! Now I have to pass the value of a text field to the webservice, I'm using ...

Jimmy, please excuse my ignorance.  I'm an InfoPath newbie. How can a data source be designed from scratch?  Would it involve the use of an XML Schema? I'm really surprised and dismayed if InfoPath cannot be used with Access in its current state to simply allow a user to select say 3 checkboxes from a group of 5 checkboxes and ...

I have the same situation, just that I am trying to verify the time against an entry field. Here is what I have: Total hrs (10.0) Start (7:00) End (17:00) What I would like to do is make sure that when the user goes to enter the end time, that if verfies that (End - Start) = Total hrs. This way they will be notified after entry that they need ...

In the Submit Options dialogue, there is an option to Show the Submit button in both the Ribbon and Info tab. Then below, you can set the label. I wanted to rename the Submit button to Save, so i had this label say Save. When I preview the form with infopath, the Submit button is now named Save. But when I preview the form in the browser, it still ...

 On repeating tables in the properties window you could use Default Values or 'rules when user adds/inserts a row' and set each field to the value in your field outside the table. No code needed.

Consider fields to store a toggle value when a button is pressed - I like using -1 and 1 so my button rule can just be current value of field * -1 Then put conditional formatting on the table rows (or a section within which the whole table is placed) to be hidden or not depending on the value of the associated toggle field.
