Hello Duchess,   I would disable the ribbon and create a submit button that uses the same data connection. This should prevent the changes from being save to the original. Thanks! Bre

Hello Manju, Instead of creating required fields, it is often a much better practice to use conditional formatting so that as a user visits a view of a form, it is apparent that there are required fields. Then by disabling the ribbon, and using a submit data connection on a button you can control how the user submits. Disable the button until the ...

Hello Dawndev, This was a rather tricky filter. Because the filter applies to the main DS we must use the full xpath to the node in the main DS. Here is the filter that was on your last form: not(. = current()/my:deviceType) and the new: not(. = ...

Hello ilee1, It sounds like this data connection is queried on first load, instead of on submit. What you'll want to do is either submit the form on load and then query to get the next id, or on submit query to get the same number. In the scenario you are describing, user A and B could open the forms at different times, but if user A does ...

Hello pcetrone, Another thing to check would be the design checker. Sometimes there may be an error in your form that is preventing the publish. At times SharePoint also times out in the connection to your local desktop. As a work around, I will often login to SharePoint, and download the latest published template from the library to force my ...

Hello Rahul2011, A big clue to me in your inquiry is that this is a large form, which also means large views in the form, as well as lots of data. I did a webinar yesterday talking about performance in the browser, and I've seen similar behavior in a form with a view that was too long. Here is a link to the webinar: ...

Hello Akash, Did you re-publish the form to the site? I would suggest opening the form in the designer, and running design checker to check for errors in the form. Also you will want to upgrade your form template to 2010 or 2013 and republish to your location. If you have existing xml that you move over, you will need to relink them to the ...

Hello Fox, To answer your question yes this is all possible in InfoPath. We did a webinar a while back, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJxP9M018hM&list=PL581899A129522F53 will give yo the video posted to YouTube, and the webinar kit can be purchased here: http://www.qdabra.com/webstore/p/103/ Let me know if you need more help! We've ...

Hello Fakedog, This sounds like it may be related to a filter on the rule that sets the value. You'll want to set the field to name where ID from main DS = ID from 2DS (SQL). This can also be done using a filtered query on your sql db connection to query for the employee id when the ID changes. Please let me know if you need more ...
