When the item is first created I want to only show part 1. Afterward, I want part 2 to show and part wont show until all of the fields in part 3 are filled in. How can I approach this?

You could add a formatting rule for this - but I think if you want the user to use a button, you may just not want to display the date time controls at all - use calculated values instead. Then they click the button and the data is populated. You can disable or hide the button once there is data in the field. I'm attaching a sample form with a ...

Thank you! :)

Other forms, for whatever reason, may ...

Specifically, all appropriate users are able to create/submit Document A without having infopath on their ...

I have this button that if pushed I want the 'Name' box to be filled in with the users name. I don't know how to grab the name of the person creating the new item.

If someone submits a form and incorrectly puts the name of the approving manager in the people picker, which triggers an approval workflow when it's been submitted, if the person wants to change the form so that a new approving manager will get the approval task, how is this accomplished without submitting a new form? We keep telling people ...
