InfoPath Dev

 A co-worker is writing an InfoPath application. Within it, of course, there are a variety of controls. The ones that I am wondering about are the text entry controls. Traditionally, SQL Server table columns are char or varchar type files. However, most InfoPath text controls allow the user to enter unlimited number of text. This ...

 I would love to find a tutorial that walks someone through building an InfoPath form that uses the people picker control to select one or more users, then uses UserProfileService.asmx to retrieve all the profile information for the people selected. Even better would be a way to then edit the information where necessary (say a department ...

  Looking for ideas on creating an InfoPath application in which the users could dynamically add new approval stops based on new conditions. When creating an InfoPath application to handle various kinds of requests, one is faced with the concept of statically defining what can be requested, the specific approval stops, ...

Summary: a workflow using InfoPath form for data gathering is encountering a problem getting the form load condition to occur. The workflow - based on one of the SP2010 third party productions - has a series of steps in which tasks are assigned to process a request. So, initially, a user starts the app, a form load event fills in some ...

I started out looking for a way to have one list somewhere on SharePoint that infopath lookup columns could make use of. While having the data stored in SQL Server is certainly a possibility, as is tying a SharePoint list to the SQL Server table for input and query, I am still left trying to figure out how to have one list. It seems to me I am ...

In an environment where one has to create a business case, argue the request like defending a thesis, etc. versus creating a sharepoint list, the list is exceptionally appealing. Trying to teach people how to add and modify the data via a SP list is also much easier versus some other method of updating the data in a database.

I tried to reply to this message once before but the system appears to have "eaten it". I wanted to post a reply that described my current approach to solving this problem. I really appreciate the help provided by so many of you. There is a "thinking in InfoPath" that has to occur which is difficult to achieve. I won't say ...

There are in most organizations some groups of data that would be useful to share across site collections and farms - for example, lists of valid department numbers, department names, divisions, VP names, admin names, staff names, etc. I know that if I try to create a simple out of the box SP 2010 custom list with a lookup column, that ...

I don't understand how to "[p]opulate that [i.e. the department code to be obtained from the first list, using the ID from the first list] into the Cost Code query. My first control is called the Sponsoring Department lookup.  It is a drop down single selection control. It displays all rows from the Department Numbers and Names and ...

Okay, I am confused at this point. Let's use the Sponsored Department lookup as the first example. If I have it returning the ID, then I have no idea how I am going to get the value that I need in the Cost Code control - because it needs the Department Code value of the row that was selected in the Sponsored Department lookup. Obviously ...
