InfoPath Dev

This is a common scenario. We have done very similar SharePoint list data into InfoPath form many times. You'll want to read Jo-Anne's blog which describes a data driven technique using the qRules Insert command to iteratively copy tasks from SharePoint into your form. Another approach would be to simply query the SharePoint list for the ...

Thanks for this clarification. 1 student has multiple tasks assigned to him/her. I will pre-create individual forms for each student, and provide a direct link to each student so they can only update their own tasks. That's my main requirement - being able to pre-create these forms and have students being able to update only their tasks ...

So you get an error when A has a value and B doesn't? Or am I misunderstanding?

That all depends on what the connection is used for. If you are just talking about adding a new connection to use for some new stuff, no issues. But if I'd had an item selected that had a value of "1" and a display of "grape" and you change the data source for your drop down to a different list, and now the item with a ...

The list where your input data is stored is a secondary data source, I'd guess. Did you add a data connection to the list in order to get the data into your form? When you say you need to "to update multiple items in one go and save these into my Forms library" I get confused. I know you are talking about SharePoint list items -- ...

Once the form is populated I need to be able to update multiple items in one go and save these into my Forms library (which will obviously need to have a ...

Thanks guys!  I will give it a shot. PAW

hello. i dont understand why the formula does not update the result. i have a bottom that update two field, initially empty, and an expression box that multiplies the field for the field B. but when i update the value inside field A and B the formula display NaN (or 1.#qnan). apparently the expression box see empty field (A and B) any suggestion ...

And, actually, that 5 condition thing has a work around... Change your final condition to read "The expression" and then go to town -- the only difficult bit is you have to write out the XPath yourself in the teeny tiny space. I'd suggest a text editor, then copy it in....

I have had to resize some rich text boxes in my template,  so the printing would be nicer.  I want to re-publish the template to my sharepoint site,  but before I do,  I'm  asking,   will this have any adverse effects on the already filled out forms on my site,   ie will it mess up the text in the ...
