InfoPath Dev

Hi, i'm relatively new to InfoPath so apologies in advance for my ignorance. I have a form which contain a number of data connections (to an Access database) that populate drop down menus and some text boxes using rules. These connections are only needed for the form originator; once they have filled it in and sent it for ...

Infopath is quite simply a nightmare when it comes to fonts (and formatting in general) display differently for different users. I had a problem for ages of text boxes appearing highlighted in blue for some users but not in any of my development screens. Worked out that it was an issue to do with colours not being available on my pc. 

I've recently had the same problem - I have boxes set up to automatically include a value as default. However if a user updates the field, it defaults back to the original whenever the form is sent to someone else or closed and reopenned. In the end I just created a rule to add the default values when another field was changed.

Ah, i should have specified that I'm actually located in the UK. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi - this is a little complicated so let me set out my situation. Earlier in the year I got a new job in a systems role. One of the tasks they wanted me to undertake was introduce some form of electronic approval form process throughout the department to replace the Word/Email ones.

Hi, I'm attemptting to get a fairly basic form to work on my sharepoint site as a test. I've followed all the given steps and it works fine on my pc.

Hi, I currently have an e-mail submit data connection set up to send an active view of the form to approvers. I don't include the form data because: 1 - Not all currenlty have access to the database that the form is based on 2 - It takes a while to open the form 3 - It is easier for audit purposes to have an e-mail trail. However the ...

Ok, so further googling has helped me add 2 people pickers, one linking to TO and the other CC. Is there no way that I can add multiple selections to the TO field though? Seeing as the picker does allow multiple selections I'm hoping that there is some clever way of doing it.

Hi, Thanks for your input. After posting I actually googled a bit more and was able to add the people picker control using the below guide.  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2007/02/28/using-the-contact-selector-control.aspx This works ok, however as you correctly preempted, I really need it to select multiple individuals. It does ...

Hi - i'm new to Infopath so apologies for my ignorance. I have created my first functioning Infopath form and am now working on developing a workflow for it. Unfortunately we I don't have a full enabled version of Sharepoint to use so I am using the e-mail submit function for the workflow. Obviously this is easy to do where the ...
