InfoPath Dev

Hi all, I'm seeing an interesting behavior in InfoPath that I want to get around. I used my own schema to build the template on. I have some xml data already around that I will need to convert to valid InfoPath data. The XML I need to convert follows the schema. I intend to just add the PI's at the top of each file. I have noticed that ...

Just in case it helps anyone else with this problem, Greg's tips got me on the right path, and I'll explain the change below. InfoPath apparently expects an element with a certain namespace specified somewhere in the schema, or it will gray out the option to sign forms. It reminds me of what you have to put in your schema if you want to have a ...

I agree in general that I shouldn't be digging around in the schema much, but I have to say, if I have 20 elements I want to make read-only, I would rather do it in the schema (possibly by defining and using a type) than add the same rule 20 times manually. Is there any shortcut for adding the same rule to a bunch of fields? All the mousing and ...

Hi all, I've been reading a lot about the difference between not required and optional, and I thought I understood it, but my form seems to disagree. I have some elements that are strings that I would like to make required (meaning they better be filled) from the schema if possible. I have this in my schema: <xs:element name=''someName'' ...

Sounds like there's no way to get InfoPath to do this. Thanks for the alternatives. I agree, they sound like they would work. The hand-editing probably will not go on long, once the form matures. I'm a bit more concerned about breaking ''diff''. (i.e. if Infopath decides to save everything on line 1, diff will not be very useful). I may have ...

Hi, I've got a form template that I would like to output indented xml on a Save. During the transition to Infopath, users may need to hand-edit their xml as they have in the past, or diff versions of it using a line-by-line differ. I've seen this question asked a time or two. I don't think I've seen a straight answer yet, though. I realize ...
