InfoPath Dev

A promoted column is read-only.  Is it possible to edit the column and specifiy characters?  I have a rich text field that may have over 1000 characters and user would like ALL characters to show in SharePoint.  I am not sure if this is a SharePoint question or Infopath - thought I'd start here.  Using IP 2007 and ...

Thanks, I tried your suggestion, with default view grouped and it still fails to find next highest ID, Update: Trying this actually created a problem for me which I didn't realize when I first posted this remark. It caused the step: '@key = key' to fail with error message: "parameter not applied". I thought I'd done ...

I just wanted to share this tidbit to help others avoid my mistake - this doesn't work if you are querying a default view that is grouped.  It took me a couple hours to realize why I was returning the same ID for every item added.  I erroneously got the bright idea  to group my default view (in this ...

I am using IP 2007 so steps may be different but to set up user roles go to Tools > User roles.  Add User role by entering individual user names (from Active directory, Ex: dns\username), by group, or a name from the form.  In your control properties under conditional formatting (in 2007 its on Display tab), add a condition if ...

Order of the rules is important.  Maybe you should switch first, then submit and close?  Did you disable the submit functionality in the Tools > Submit Options? or whereever that is in 2010. Check your view properties.  What view is on View Settings tab or Print Settings tab (forgive me, but I am using IP ...

It takes about 35 seconds.  No Qrules or DBXL ....in that respect its a simple form but the form has multiple views with code behind.  I'm using your double-submit technique to create a unique ID column so the "Saving..." dialog appears...then goes away....wait wait (nothing but a blank screen)...then Saving dialog appears ...

I'd like a message to warn user to wait...but I don't want the rules to stop running until the user clicks ok.  That makes the wait even longer....

Thank you!  This works.  I swear I tryed that formula before - I must've navigated to the field instead of typing its XPath value manually. Navigating to insert the field changes it to a . (dot) or .. (dot dot) and throws error. It seems counter to the way a formula is supposed to insert a ...

Is it ok if I email it to you?  I don't want to make the form public.

Thank you.  I am unable to make anything but the asterisk (*) stick in the formula - whether it be typed in fx field with "Edit XPath" clicked or not, or if typed in the default value textbox (before clicking fx).  hmmmWhen I cilck Insert Field or Group, it inserts a dot (.) and spits ...
