InfoPath Dev

Hi Maureen, Yes, we have a free trial of one that you can look at. I'm not trying to sell you that, but it was the first thing we built when we left Microsoft - basically, because everyone needs it. We sell these inexpensive "accelerators" as a way to defray cost of the forum and other development work that we are doing. We have ...

 yes i am doing everything correctly just getting this error which is frustrating.

Can you add a link to the file in the form and open it that way? If not, can you please paste in the Japanese text before and after? Could be an encoding issue with the form or a bug in InfoPath. Anyway, best practice is to use links that point to files on SharePoint so that you don't have to download a huge file as part of your XML payload ...

Hi Avanburen, You should be using some kind of a data-driven Web service for this. The tight coupling to a database is going to cause you a lot of pain down the road.

Jimmy,  I was able to display the item description instead of the item ID by changing the value of the field to the description instead of ID.  However, is it possible to explain how to set the formula so it displays the first item checked immediately?  Currently, it will only display items after, at least, 2 items have been checked.

Hi ravimca, I have the same problem, Did you solve that? Thanks.

There might be some default timeout settings on the SharePoint server you can adjust.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the workflow to read the file from the form as a byte array and put it as an item attachment. There's no code on the form side. When the attachment size goes over 200K, workflow fails to create new task, but the file is uploaded successfully. If the size is small or no attachment at all, it runs smoothly.
