We recently discussed exporting an InfoPath form to PDF via code. Maybe that discussion helps. Here it is: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/8746.aspx

For a dropdown list box, the functionality allows typing in the first letter (to jump within the list of selections), but there's no autofill functionality. Sorry!

I'm a bit confused. There's a difference between the XML contents and the promoted property. You can set the promoted property to merge the contents. But that affects only the column (promoted property) and leaves the XML data intact. I'm guessing that you could merge the data within the form, and use a specific delimiter (which ...

Which control are you using? A dropdown list box? I assume you're looking for some functionality like that in Google search, which autofills as the user begins to type. In that case, I don't think this is possible in InfoPath.

Hi- Any number of things could have happened on the server. Maybe you were removed as a site collection admin. Maybe the Sandbox service was deactivated (stopped). Maybe there was a SharePoint patch (update) that caused some issue. I think the best course of action is to get in touch with your SharePoint admin and see what he can find on the ...

Hola, Los formularios basados en una lista de SharePoint son quizás los más restrictivos que existen. En fin, lo que haz visto es totalmente esperado; algunos controles no aparecen, dependiendo del tipo del formulario. No hay nada que puedas hacer en InfoPath para hacer esos controles aparecer. La unica opción es cambiar el tipo de ...

Well, the first question is: you're retrieving data (questions from a SharePoint List) . This data is going into a new, blank, InfoPath form (with an unlocked schema)? If yes, then this data is in a secondary data source. I assume that the question answers would then be stored in the main data source. Will that data be submitted to another ...

So the data is merged before submitting the XML? Could you attach the XSN published to your form library? You can attach via the Options tab. Thanks.

For the first question, the simplest option is to just use the auto increment ID used by SharePoint. Once you submit, SharePoint assigns the next available integer. The column is typically hidden in the form library view but you can add it. If that's not acceptable, you would probably have a more complex process - this, for example. This ...

Hi Jonas, The parent item always gets created before the child. If you'd like, you can use /mappingName= to map to one list (parent) then execute a second command (again using /mappingName) to map to just the child list. Want to try that out to see if it helps?
