Hi,  I have a drop down menu which users choose the current month from.  How can I make the current month display in the drop down automatically?  Thanks.

Thank you for ur fast reply, actually, i found a way doing that! you can invoke the function Dialog_save('StrFileName') this function will save the form in sharepoint by the name StrFileName!! Dialog_save is an already present function! it is included in Core.js file that comes with Sharepoint. so, first you should add a reference ...

The reason for the csv file is that the user has some data in a format which can be pasted directly into excel (this is what the users are doing in their current process).  I tried creating a table in the infopath form which they could paste the data into but ran into problems with different numbers of rows.  If there is an easy way to ...

Have you thought about creating an xml file instead of a CSV?  Then you could use it as a data source.  You can create ODBC connections to a CSV file.  I believe you could have each have an ODBC connection to the file you create and then load the data from the file via a secondary data connection.  That would pass the data ...

What I am trying to do is under certain conditions, a .csv file is created on the users local drive and then attached to the form in a file attachment ...

I am not sure how Visio, especially 2003 can use XML.  You should be able to get the shape images in InfoPath but how you would communicate with Visio is unknown.  What about using a SQL backend and then having InfoPath update SQL and Visio map from the SQL data?

This is the expected behavior. The value MUST be unique. This is the stored value. The display name is just for show purposes only. The stored value must be unique in order for the drop-down to know which selection was made.

When you say "uniquely identified" -- does that mean uniquely identified across sessions, or just within a session? If just within a session, then you can assign a default value formula to get the count(previous::day_id)+1, for example. These then will always be numbered based on order. If you need to have it unique across sessions, ...
