InfoPath Dev

Some additional clarification... 1. I created a form that is tied to an Access database. 2. I set up the form to submit to the Access database and a SharePoint library. 3. I published the form to a SharePoint library. 4. I created several new form documents using the ''fill out this form'' button on SharePoint. The forms were submitted to ...

Thanks for the help! Chip

I currently have a form that is connected to an Access database. When I create a new form, a row is inserted into the database and the form is saved to a SharePoint library. Once the initial document has been created, I would like the user to ''checkout'' the form to make changes. While the form is being updated with the new changes, the ...

I have a form that is connected to an Access database. When I create a new form, a row is inserted into the database and the form is saved to a SharePoint library. When I open the existing SharePoint form and make changes, the form and the database are updated. What if I want to make changes and INSERT a new row? If I change the keys on the ...

I tried resubmitted the form and the field still does not work. I also tried a relink but all the forms are already linked correctly. I created two more fields and added them to the form, and I am having the same problem. Both fields are only editable with new forms. In the old, previously created form documents in SharePoint, the fields ...

I have an InfoPath form that I submit to a SharePoint site. Currently there are hundreds of forms that have been submitted. I recently added a new field to the form. When I create a new form doc, the field works fine. However, when I open a previously created form, the field appears as display only. Why? I can't fill in this field on any of ...

Kalyan, I can't seem to find the readonly button in the View properties. I am using InfoPath 2003 SP2. Here is what I see... General: view name, set as default view, show on the view menu when filling out the form, background color, use a background picture, use a custom layout width for this form. Text Settings: applay settings to, font, ...

Thanks Kalyan. A couple more questions... 1. How do I make the 2nd view read-only? 2. Once the 2nd view is read-only, will the button still be active? 3. If I have two views that are exactly the same, do I have to maintain both views if I make changes? Thanks again. Chip

I was able to get this to work. For the common fields you want to display, each form must have the same fields, with the same names, and located on the same level (won't work if one field is in a section and the other field is not). Then publish all of these fields. You will then be able to submit the form to either library or a different ...

Is there a way I can dynamically make an InfoPath form read-only except for single button (or maybe just a section of the form read-only)? I want to press a button on the form that makes the form editable. I can do this field by field, but it would be easier to make the entire page or only a section display/read only. Thanks. Chip
