InfoPath Dev

Again, you don't need a web service or a database for that unless you're just referring to SharePoint's built-in UserProfileService.  Is that what you're talking about?  That still isn't part of the email submit - it's a separate step.  You can get the user id by simply using the function ...

Yes, workflow is logic based, but if you haven't done any workflow building in SharePoint, then you will probably want to get some help.  InfoPath forms are typically expected to be coupled with workflow.  They work extremely well together...

With a workflow, and you have to have a unique identifier in the list that can be compared from the form via the workflow itself.

Oh, so are we talking about offline form usage?  I had not seen that mentioned.  That is a major piece of info in this discussion... What IS your secondary data source exactly? Is it set to store the data in the form for offline use? What are these "changes" that you say are lost?

Well, how did you resolve it?  We spent a lot of time on this, so just to come back and say you randomly resolved it without explaining what was wrong is not very helpful.  Do you mind sharing what you changed to make it work? That link you reference is the way to update a separate list item directly.  To do it indirectly, use ...

This is a common error when using this web service, especially in browser forms.  One thing to know is that leveraging a web service in a browser form is essentially a double-hop of credentials.  It's only one-hop when using the rich client. Since the error doesn't give specifics, you have to check several things.  First ...

1) Can't do multi-select boxes in browser-enabled forms.  I would recommend a different way of choosing users, such as the Contact Selector control.  This uses AD names to resolve users just like the global address list in Outlook.  Then, you can use the double-eval trick to iterate through the list of names chosen and build ...

do you really have to do all that?  Do you need a web service just to send an email, and do you actually have to prompt users with the Save/SaveAs prompt?  Wouldn't you rather pre-define the filename based off metadata in the form, ensure your formula results in a unique filename, auto-submit to the form library, then automatically ...

[quote user="bryanm"]My problem with this approach is that when the user saves the form as xml, it doesn't save the secondary datasources, also can you submit the secondary datasource using the form submit? [/quote] Wait, what are you saying here?  When a user saves the form as xmo, it doesn't save the secondary ...

Which other message? Ian, your posts are kind of erratic with many short (one line) paragraphs, so I have trouble keeping up.  It's like your typing while out of breath (makes me winded just reading it).  I think it's very difficult for anyone to resolve the problem or help you without truly understanding the problem.  I ...
