InfoPath Dev

Be forwarned that this technique does not work on a web enabled form. So if your end goal is to have people fill it out who do not have infopath then you will need to use a workaround.

Dang it I think I already have a flaw in the solution (at least for my scenario) The data I am after in Form A is a  few child nodes in and I need to filter it for a row (example where ID=5).  ----------------------- A solution path I was headed down was to use a SharePoint web service call "GetItem" in the COPY web ...

@warrtalon  GENIUS IDEA  - seriously! That would solve the issue and yes Form A is a infopath form. Do you happen to know if you can save that secondary data source path as a relative path.  The reason I ask is I have multiple instances of Form A which contain different data - but there is only one per folder.  So Form ...

OK I am having the exact same issue as the first poster(happydigit).  Is there any solution for this issue - because if not I am going to have to a major redesign to my application to work around the issue.  It seems crazy to think I cant talk to a XML as a secondary data source when it is sitting in the same folder my form ...

   Could someone point me to an example of creating a data connection to an XML file for a secondary data source? The data in question is being created by a different InfoPath form on the same server and in the same folder as this one, not that it should make much difference.
