InfoPath Dev

 Hi Hillary,   I know how to create forms in Access, but I would like to have forms in InfoPath as I want others to fill in these forms. I do not want employees to have to go make changes in the database. I chose the database template within InfoPath and connected to my data sources. ...

Can you tell us what the issue is that you are having? You can attach a screenshot under the options tab in a reply if that helps.

Have you tried creating a form from the Access db? Is there a specific issue you need more help with? I'm not sure I understand why list boxes are an issue - perhaps you could add some info on what you've tried and what is not working the way you anticipate?

Yup. Your data source is a SharePoint List. They don't support nested repeating data like the question you've referenced. The post you've referenced is using a regular InfoPath form that submits XML to a form library - those are more flexible.

 Oh ok ... may I ask how this is different from a previous question with the attached? Just wondering if this is because its attached to a SharePoint list?  http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/31336/106915.aspx 

 Perfect. Thanks much.

There isn't a form load option in conditions. But you could use the condition first dropdown field (whatever its name is) is not blank. Then they won't show till the user selects a value from the first dropdown.

 The form is for new employees. The first dropdown has 2 options, admin and legal. Selecting one or the other will show the dropdown for either Admin Job Positions or Legal Job Positions. I want to have both the Job Position dropdown to be hidden on form load. They should only show when the option is selected in the first dropdown.  I ...

What you set the condition to depends on the logic you need? Like - do you want to hide these when the form is new, but not when it is re-opened? Is that it? And yes, this is a formatting rule, not an action rule. :)

 Yes I was. Now with just one section selected and a formatting rule created, to what do I set the Condition, or is it a Formatting rule?   Thanks Hilary
