InfoPath Dev

Overall, what is the advantages of referencing fields? I know, in the case of the Contact Selector - it is required to obtain multiple instances of the same field name - but.... Outside of that, is there anything distinctive that folks use referenced fields for?

Interesting...   I appears, somehow my system font was changed (or I assume). If I copy/pasted the formulas into NotePad I received the HTML 4.01, ISO 10646, ISO 8879, Latin extended A and B, format (the curly double quotes). If I copy pasted the straight up and down quotes (from NotePad) - the rule was accepted. Now to figure out ...

I have a very complicated InfoPath form.  While working on it recently, I began having trouble using quotes in formulas. For example =boolean("True")  This errors on the quotes.  They show up as square blocks. I have code inside the form that uses the exact same and I even copy paste it, but suddenly formulas do not like ...

I had to reply to this because I had the same error and did not come across a solution until I took some steps.... Running Windows 7 with Office 2007 and VS 2010. I was cruising right along developing some code-behind for various InfoPath forms and then one day I could no longer open the code behind. I could right-click and enter Design mode - ...

A list might look like: a@a.com; b@b.com; c@c.com || Admin d@d.com; b@b.com || Super Admin I save these entries on the form in an appropriate field for email and role. When a form ...

OK figured this out.... 1.  I had a webmethod that returned / queried results by ID (the PK for the form) So when the Data connection was made, the form had a Required check for both the Data Fields AND the query fields. 2.  I changed things around.  I gave the form an new ID field - string type. I made this field equal to concat ...

OK so I tried some other approaches...  And now I am curious.. 1.  I tried to do this, send my form back as normal to the WebService. 2.  Set the opened form's default vaule for the ID = to a Secondary Data Connection return of Max(ID) (understanding if this is ran immediately after the Send to WebService - the chanes of a ...

I am using IP2007 and SP2007. I have a complicated form that I have managed to get deployed as Browser Enabled via Form Services. The backend database is SQL Server using a WebService connection to send and receive data. The webserver currently has one "open" method to return data based on the FormID - which is an AutoNumber column in ...
