InfoPath Dev

In browser format, people picker only works for me if Form Options > Web Browser > Show InfoPath commands in Ribbon or toolbar IS CHECKED.

Thanks Hilary. Yeah, weird. Unfortunately, the people who have had problems are VIPs, and I can't ask them to try again. Another thought - I understand that SharePoint Online creates a user profile during a user's first login. I wonder if that could cause a delay in the form loading . . .

Just had an epiphany -- seems this kind of thing is happening also, intermittently, with controls being disabled. Well, the forms have a lot of rules and formatting and views (they were some of the first forms I created many years ago, and the design isn't very efficient). When network traffic is heavy, or when browsers are slow to load, or ...

I have a form load rule that checks if the form is see if it’s being opened by the "preparer" or the "requestor", and if so, it is supposed to switch to the starting view (called Request) and then execute no more rules. We recently migrated this form to SharePoint Online, and once in a while it SEEMS that this rule gets ...

We are migrating our email to O365.  Our SharePoint 2010 farm will be migrated many months later.   My SP Designer workflows frequently include a step to email SharePoint's CreatedBy, which translates to Active Directory domain/user-ID (e.g. uta/slpierce).  Does O365 email handle this?  Thank you. 

Previously, using the simple-format XML data source, I queried the entire data source, then set a field to xdXDocument:GetDOM("SimpleXML")/query/row/C.POSITION_NBR[../A.EMPLID = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:requestorGrp/my:ReqEmplID and contains(../C.DESCR, "- AP")]using complicated XML structure, how do I set ...

Realized that I have to create new data connection since structure is different.  I was able to create data connection with no error.  Now have to figure out how to retrieve data from it and rework my rules.  Maybe it's like reading the data that comes from GetUserProfile web service - will give that a try. 

 My InfoPath 2010 browser form utilizes a data connection to an XML file.  The simple little file used to look like this: <?xml version="1.0"?> <query xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" queryname="UTA_HR_UTA20_ALL" ...

Turns out the problem was expired security certificates on SharePoint Front-End servers.  (*sigh*)
