InfoPath Dev

Hi, we basically inherited this InfoPath form from someone who'd already built the whole form w/o a database connection. What they wanted to do is just add an autoincrement to a textbox on the top of the form to help identify the form easier. Since I can't really get a data connection through the form, but could through the code-behind ...

You would need an installabel, full trust form which had the code to create a task assignment. A better solution or work around might be just to email notify the editor, via the built in InfoPath submit, and then come up with a quick process for converting it to a new task within Outlook, maybe with a rule or something.

If you have code that goes outside of InfoPath is requires full trust and creating an installable form. the Alert() function, in the InfoPath model, should do what you want and will not break trust.

Hey Kon. Is this some type of interface? Where you are wanting to bulk update your data on a regular basis?

Typically you would generate this on submit to SQL or Access. Or create a list and have a flag field to mark it taken.  Are you identifying each user? You could link them to the ID they just chose or possibly with a time stamp. The big issue is uniqueness and when multiple forms are open making sure they don't get duped. One issue with ...

Web Services are always the best practice from a delivery standpoint and maintenance since they are not coded into the solution. Here is another post though if you have to go down that road. http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/6765.aspx 

I think InfoPath would be a good solution. You could create the template pretty quickly. You definetly can merge these seperate data elements and put them into a consistent (7 page) document. You can also abstract it so that the user can verify or input the required elements as easily as possible and then they can switch to the print view that ...

When i make the query with a button and executes it ("execute query") to show all the data on the database the contols on the Extensible Section are repeated one for record. I want see one time the extensible section when i execute the query.

Newbie to InfoPath here!!!!!!  I have an InfoPath form, and when the user clicks a button, we'd like to populate the textbox with a sequential autonumber, and it will be prefixed by a determined string....say "ABC". So, the first person to click the button will get the textbox populated with the value ...
