If your drop-down is manually populated (i.e. in the control itself), then you just set the field default value to the first drop-down value. Then you have to manually edit your XSL to get rid of the blank option. If your drop-down is populated from another data source, then you can probably write an open rule to populate the bound field with the ...

I have an infopath form that automatically sends an email when the user chooses to "submit for approval".  Based on who the user selects as their approver, an email is sent to that person.  The user selects the approver from a drop-down box that contains approvers names (i.e. John Doe).  I have someone in my department ...

Looks like this is the line I need to change... <xsf:calculatedField target="/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:LaborSummary/@NOW_ETC_HRS" expression="../../../my:FormData/my:NOW_ETC_HRS_USER_INPUT_TOTAL[../../my:DetailId = ../../dfs:dataFields/d:LaborSummary/@AUTONUMBER and ../../dfs:dataFields/d:LaborSummary/@DIST_NONDIST = ...

If you just need to filter the record to update, you do not need code. You would just need to update the underlying structure.  The InfoPath User Interface does not give you the option of filtering the field to set with a value.  However you can edit the manifest directly to attain this. So I would keep your rule in the same, which ...

I would like to take to you about the Database Accelerator, but first I want to get my prototype to the users.  All I need to do is update one field on an Access database from a total line on a repeatable table. Are you saying that I can do it by updating the manifest.xls file to get it to work?  Should I just create the ...

 Hey Clay,   Thanks for the suggestion.  I was thinking about using different views initially.  I was not sure if it will retain data entered in the previous page.  Also, not sure how to keep track of sections.  Can you please explain how to keep track of the sections (views)?     Thanks  

Hi, My client asks a feature to print mutiple forms from a selection from a Form Libary. I do think this is not possible without Microsoft InfoPath 2007 installed. The only solution I think  is converting the individule form instance xml file to Word file and merge them on the fly. Does any one happen to know a good solution. Thanks in ...

True, with the Database Acelerator you have many webservices which allow you to query and submit to the database multiple times without code as additional data connections. You would not need to redo your form, although you may find some improvements that could be made to better fit with the DBXL features. If you would like a demo or to discuss ...
