InfoPath Dev

Hello, I have a requirement to store external business contacts that have no access to SharePoint, and I would like to somehow use the Person/Group picker since it has a popup page that allows for easy searching but the problem is that it only pulls from User Groups, and I can only add SharePoint users to SharePoint Groups even if I specify a ...

I actually resolved the problem - I had to give my service account anonymous access to the web service.  Thanks.

Hello, I have a browser enabled form running on http://mysite/sites/TESTSITE/form.xml, and it is accessing a web service on http://otherserver/test/service.asmx The problem is that I can successfully communicate with the web service when editing this form in InfoPath but when editing in the browser, I always get this error: An error occurred ...

I have a browser form in SharePoint and I noticed that it uses the browser-set header and footer eventhough I removed this in InfoPath. Is there any way to somehow manipulate the header/footer of forms through the browser with Infopath?  Igor

I just created a brand new InfoPath Form Template in Visual Studio 2008 but when I goto the views section via Design Tasks, there is nothing there as if this section was left out. All other sections in Design Tasks have information inside. Is there a known issue with views and Visual Studio 2008? Thanks, Igor

It seems like this is a bug in InfoPath. Whenever you set the default value for a dropdown like I did above, and you go back to the dropdown properties, the "default" value is removed and InfoPath doesn't see that I have already specified it in the field properties. If you need to make changes in the properties, you will need to ...

I finally figured it out. It was simply that the field had an extra whitespace appended to the end of it! Setting default value to normalize-space(.) fixed everything.

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"] ...by setting the value of the option field to 'no', 'no' would be the selected item from the drop down. ... [/quote] Hillary, I don't want to set the value to 'no' because it has set itself to whatever the value of the field returned from the DB. So if it's 'yes' ...

Also, if I select "Look up values in the form's data source" it does return the value from the DB correctly, but I can't manually add the other 2 values that I need to be in the dropdown.

This is what I am doing but the dropdown field is blank when the data is retrieved. As soon as I change it back to a textbox, it populates fine.  It's already returning the correct string from the database, but for some reason its not mapping it correctly to the pre-defined dropdown values. Igor
