Thank you, this works! For future reference here's what's in the xml: <links> <link>mailto:name@address.com</link> </links>

Hilary, I just ran into this issue too. Would you mind sharing a copy of the XML you created? I found a sample online but it isn't working for me.

yes i think i'll need to do something like that. i didn't realize until later that my method doesn't work on the initial creation of a new list item. it requires going back in an editing the item for the ID to get properly added to the URL.

Okay I figured out my first blunder: the hyperlink data sources were local to the form, I needed the source to be within each list so it would repeat as needed. So I created a new column in each list called "ItemLink" and put the concatted URL+ID there, then used that as the data source in the hyperlink. Now I am reliably getting ...

I'm building a form that allows users to select from a list of topics in a drop-down menu. The form compares their selection against several Sharepoint lists, displaying the items with matching topics. I'd like to include a link to each list item so the user can click through to see the full item. I came up with something that works, ...

Of course, you can basically click anywhere on the menu to open it but my users don't get it and keep trying to click on the arrows. I assume there's no way to fix this, but just in ...

Thanks guys. Upon further investigation I realized I did not in fact have the filter formula right. I have tried again and set up the filtering on the repeating section instead of trying to do it within the calculated value field. The trick was adding a filter within the Conditions of the rule, this is probably grade-school stuff for you guys but ...

Attached is a screenshot showing the display issue.

I'm trying to create an 'exception list' to quickly see who has not yet completed a given form. I was able to create a simple form that compares 2 Sharepoint lists and displays a list of the users from the master list who do not appear on the 'completed' list. The only way I know to do this is bind the list to a repeating ...

I have several sharepoint lists as data connections in a form that I want to be available for the user to select. So I need a drop-down menu that lists them all and upon selection will pull data from that respective list. But I can't figure out how to do this since the options for the drop-down control only allow you to select a single data ...
