InfoPath Dev

Ok, I've quiered the table before submitting and the record is found (I've tested this with the use of a display message).

Hi Sailor, There are a few other blogs out there on the Web that offer complicated solutions involving code. These solutions tend to be brittle and not flex very well when schema's change. If your willing to write up a 1-2 page testimonial on how qRules solved your problem (assuming it does), we can give you a complimentary license. Please ...

Can you give me some directions on where I might start digging to into opening up the fields....BTW:  Got the export to work perfect via PDFCreator, but it's not really a good solution for me since the other groups I'm dealing with on this project don't have great bandwidth to download a 17MB file, we're kindof limited here ...
