InfoPath Dev

There are many times one may want to determine if their form is being viewed in Filler or in a browser to turn on or not turn on some feature based on that option. I often use it to submit form lock information to a library if it's in a browser, or not save lock info if I am working on the form and previewing it as I work. To ...

 I've had trouble with this before as when I submit a form during development using InfoPath, I can never open that form again in the web browser. Each attempt just throws up a little message box asking me if I want to save it or whatever, or some such message. Before, I just made a mental note to not do any test submissions until I ...

Okay...I've been reading around but have NOT figured this thing out. I did read somewhere it was because of a CSS issue for the html text box input control. They said the CSS class that InfoPath saves in it's forms is old and is now read differently in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and any browsers going ...

 Hi, I have some forms (pretty much every single one of them) that have multi-line textboxes in lieu of the big overhead rich text box. The textboxes have performed well, but now, many customers (other departments) are changing from IE to Chrome, and the multi-line textboxes are not wrapping the text when Chrome renders the page.

(All my forms run in browser so I only get eight.) What I'll do is create three rules on the field. 1. The first will run if the field has four ...

What I have done is use translate( field,"` ~!@#$%^&*()=+\/][}{;:?><,.'","____________________________________") to change special characters into underscores. However, sometimes I end up with several occurrences of double underscores in the field. I want to remove the double underscores("__") ...

 I just got word that they are dropping the Director approval requirement for this form. They said they did to not want to add another duty to their ever-increasing workload.  At some time later on, I do want to learn how to "properly" do this as I see I will probably need this function again ...

Yes, what I am building is a Director-Info SharePoint list they can add all the directors to. Their data entry people will just edit directly into the list using a spreadsheet view. I was wanting them to just enter the “Title” (UserID), the “Area” of expertise, (radio button choice of supply or operations) and “Categories” (checkbox ...

InfoPath 2010 SharePoint 2010  I need to fill an InfoPath (IP) dropdown based on a person being assigned any combination of three categories. The people are contained SharePoint (SP) list in the following format: 1. Title (contains the UserID) 2. DisplayName (the name that is displayed in the dropdown the user chooses)  3. ...

InfoPath 2010 - SharePoint 2010  I'll be honest, I don't know how best to title this request. What I have is a list of specific Directors in a SP list. In the list is the following: 1. ID 2. Title (UserID) 3. Area (of expertise) 4. Categories (or responsibilities) 5. Comments   I need to build a dropdown based on the area ...
