Michael,  I have been able to get conditional formatting to work on browser-enabled forms before. Specifically, I am able to hide a section depending on a value in my data source. I haven't gotten any more in-depth than that, but maybe its something specific to the type of control you are trying to format? Jason

Not that I've seen. There isn't even an option for doing something as simple as displaying an alert box. In my experience, this is the biggest hole in the browser-enabled form approach. Maybe they'll figure out a way in a future release?   Jason

I have a form that is a giant repeating section, each instance of which spans a couple of pages. I thought I would be able to just add a page break at each appropriate spot within the repeating section, and it would be good. However, when I have placed the cursor where I would like to add the page break, when I go to the Insert menu, the Page ...

I have 2 drop-down boxes bound to secondary data sources (web services if it matters). The first simply contains a list of states, and the web service call doesn't require any parameters.

I did learn that the panel wasn't entirely blank, because if you drag the panel to the left and expand it to take up the ...

I would like to know if, using a browser-enabled form template, there is any way to launch a new browser window pointing to a URL upon form submit. I am fairly familiar with using custom code during form submission, but thus far I haven't found anything addressing this issue. Thanks for any feedback! Jason

Thanks Greg, Before I saw your reply, I ended up adding a web reference to my web service, and then adding custom submit code that invokes the method on the web service directly instead of utilizing a data connection at all. <Code Snippet> public void FormEvents_Submit(object sender, SubmitEventArgs e) { ...

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to handle a web method return value after submitting a form? Basically, I have a web method Guid Submit(){...} When submitting a new form, the Guid returned is the new Id in the database, which I would like to capture and store in a form dataField so that if the user clicks the Submit again, it will ...
