  Hi Potemkine, Nice to hear from you again. Ok, noted about the rules vs code part. I'm still using your code to refresh this new form though :) I was thinking of using code because my form has multiple sections and nested sections and thus using rules can sometimes take quite a lot of mouse clicks. Was just trying to find out if it ...

Hi Jimmy, I decided to just use rules :) but for knowledge sake, I'll still like to know how I can go about this in code? Is it more efficient to use rules instead of code?   Thanks!

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for your help again. When you say variabled, do you mean:Dim oItem As XPathNavigator Dim oSecData As String oItem = Me.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Date_Letter", Me.NamespaceManager)oSecData = ...

To add on, what I'm trying to do is something like: Me.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:Date_Letter", Me.NamespaceManager).SetValue("abcd") Except that SetValue is not applicable for xpath input. It only takes string values. I hope to be able to replace "abcd" with a xpath to my secondary ...

Hi, I understand that rules can be set to populate fields using data retrieved from a secondary data source. I'm just wondering if this can be done via Visual Basic code? Reason is because I kind of have alot of fields and using code might be faster to populate my form? The replaceself function can be used to replace nodes but is there code ...

Hi Hilary,  Thanks for your suggestions! Previously I was having trouble because I was trying to tie my secondary data source data to a repeating table which I've added separately. The end result was that this table did not populate according to my DB table. In fact nothing came out and only the first row was populated. Your comment on ...

Hi, Just wondering, if I have a Billing table in my database that has columns, ClientID, BillAmount, BillDate, can I populate these fields into my form dynamically? Dynamically in the sense, for example I want to retrieve Billing details from Client 12345 and there are only 3 bills to date, then I will have a 3x3 table. If I query on client 23456 ...

  Hi Patrick,  Sounds like a good idea. But when you talk about Public Folders, are you talking about a shared folder in the destination mailbox? ie, an email folder I share to all users from my own Outlook Inbox? However, this would require me to grant users Reviewer rights to my Inbox as well, which is not exactly good. An ...

Hi, Was wondering if there is a way to integrate my designed form in Outlook? Right now, if we want users to use the form, we have to email the URL to them. Our objective is to have this link in everyone's Outlook such that when they eventually need to use it, everyone can go to some folder, example: "InfoPath forms" folder and ...

Hi, Yup, thats a good way to go about it. Thanks!
