InfoPath Dev

Hi Klaus, Did you try changing the project name to not use the parenthesis?  If you dig into the SharePoint event log for IPFS (InfoPath Form services) you should be able to find a more detailed error message, it is likely that the server logged the details there. What version of SharePoint are you using?  In SharePoint 2007 there ...

How exactly did you go about creating the list form in the first place?  I just tried this out on my SharePoint 2010 test site and was able to create a new sharepoint list and then customize in InfoPath and was able to add a Multi-select control and publish back to SharePoint and it works fine. Did you create this in InfoPath first and then ...

That is the limit with InfoPath out of the box data connections. Instead of custom code you can also use our DBXL (database acclerator) tool to submit your data to a DB without the 255 char limitation: http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/DBXL.aspx Integration with DB's can be time consuming, DBXL will really make your job a lot easier ...

Take a look at the value that is actually saved in your XML for this calculated field and then see what it looks like in SharePoint.  I am guessing that in SharePoint it may be different than what is in InfoPath.  If that is the case you may need to round the number in InfoPath or something to get rid of the decimal points.  I think ...

Hi I think in general that filtering is going to be a better choice. InfoPath can get bogged down with conditional formatting - especially if you have a lot of rows to perform this on. You may not notice any difference with 10-15 rows but after 15 rows and depending upon how much you have to format you will start to see some performance ...

Do you have SharePoint?  If you have SharePoint you could use SharePoint workflow to do this.  If you don't have SharePoint you could look at submitting your form to a DB (like SQL) and then you could enable email on your SQL server and setup emails to be sent out at the right time.  There isn't anything builtin to InfoPath ...

You have to get the data into the main data source, the secondary data does not persist in the form. However, you don't have to show those fields in the UI, you can have hidden fields in InfoPath that the data is copied into so that it's gets promoted.

Our SharePoint site ends in .com and I enter the full name to get there. Are you using VPN on your iPad? I am not using VPN and not sure if it makes any difference.

Hi Rachel, For the old forms you might need to open each form and re-select the value (clear out the drop down and re-select) and submit again. If you don't have a lot of forms and that works it shouldn't be too much work.  How many forms do you have that need fixing? Ted
