InfoPath Dev

Oh, you won't find too many people who'll disagree with you on that -- it does seem like it would make more sense to be able to just view switch (certainly easier on the designer, I'd much rather work on several views than have a long long single view to deal with). To my knowledge, the issue is actually one of rendering order -- the ...

Hilary,  I just tried a little test and it works wonderfuly.  Thank you very much for your time and input on this.  Do you happen to know why Infopath was designed like this though.  It seems that my original way of doing this, by having two views and switching the views on email submit would have been a much simpler ...

This is one of the beautiful things about InfoPath. The data source and controls are somewhat separate. You can bind as many controls as you need to a single field. If they are in the same view, you'll see a little blue "i" on the control, letting you know you have multiple controls bound to the same field, but that is just an ...

I thought, and please feel free to corect me, that you could only bind a singl control to a single field.  You could not have two controles pointing to the same field?

 No one?

Actually, I usually just copy everything already on the form and paste it into my new section -- And you don't have to create any additional fields, just additional controls bound to the fields you've already got... I guess I don't see how this is any more effort than a new view?

Hello there,  I have a form in wich I filter some data from a sharepoint list to populate a textbox. But it happens most of the time that the filter returns nothing, and when it happens, there is this big ugly "NaN" appearing in the textbox.. I would like to put 0 instead of "NaN" so I can use this value to do some ...

You may be able to populate the table you are submitting with data from your "nested" tables using a combination of the Insert command and SetValue. When you start working on it again, if you run into trouble, be sure to start a new thread so it gets noticed... sometimes older threads don't get the attention and love they should.

I am creating a form that calculates the travel advance amount based on the data entered into other fields.  I go the calculation working (and rounding up thanks to you guys) but now I was wondering if there was a way for that particular field to only populate the calculation total if a "yes, I need a travel advance" check box is ...

Hi Ryan, Your requirements are pretty simple and I think you could easily manage this via either workflow in your InfoPath form or via SharePoint workflow. There may even be a built in (default) workflow in SharePoint that handles your scenario out of the box, I recall there be a three tier workflow or something that you could just enable on ...
