Thank you for the screenshot.  As far as I can think, what you describe is possible, but fairly complicated.  I can think of two approaches:Manually modify the form's XSL file to generate the tables from your existing data source (requires a good understanding of XSL and HTML).Use code to organize your data into a tiered structure in ...

How are you doing cascading dropdowns when filtering is not supported in browser forms?  Does your filtering actually work in the browser, or have you only tested in preview mode? For your dropdowns to be independent, they need to exist within the repeating group in your data schema that is being used for the repeating section ...

Hello All  My First Question to the ForumI am facing a problem with Cascading dropdown lists in a repeating section  I have a drop down list (Services) and another dropdown list (Activities - related to Services), they both are in a repeating sections. I can filter Activates drop down list based on services, it works fine.But the ...

It's really a shame that your organization is still using Office 2003.  That's your main problem - that is very old technology, and 2010 is already in people's hands.  The best thing to do would be to advance to 2007 before that software is obsolete.

I found out where everything was going.  For some reason, check in/check out got activated by the forms -- although I did not activate this on my list.  So the forms are there, but they are not checked in.  And it will not allow them to be checked in, even by the creators, because it's looking for required information.  ...

aptrick, If there are datavalidations on a field, and the form is blank and has not changed it will just show a * mark. untill the "Changed" event gets fired the data validations wont work.

Thank you for the reply!  And you pointed out exactly where my difficulty lies. Basically I wanted the originator of the form email address automatically placed into the cc: box of the email submit data collection via a programming command or other option. It looks like InfoPath 2003 is unable to glean this information automatically from the ...

You don't get a red star with data validation - only when checking the "Cannot be blank" box.  That's not what I was talking about.

That should work no problem, so you must have a logic error.  I do this frequently where I have custom buttons for submitting, and I either submit + close, or I submit + some other actions + do not close.  If it submits, it submits...no other way around it.  Doesn't matter if you switch views, it should have submitted the data.

Yes, Bill, this should be no problem.  First of all, I suggest using my method of auto-generating filenames for your form submissions.  View that here: InfoPath – Auto-Generating Filenames Using this concept, you get unique filenames that the user does not type in.  You may already be doing something like this.  If so, then ...
