I'm experimenting with creating an add-in for Infopath 2007. The documentation is very skimpy. What I'm trying to determine is what kind of actions an add-in can take while designing a form. Most of the discussion and samples are for when the user is filling out the form. Can I, for example, add a new field to the form in the designer? A...

I am trying to print a report from within an InfoPath template. So my dataset is an XML DOM that I will load into the Crystal Report at runtime.

I am new to developing for Office Forms Server / MOSS 2007.

Opening an Infopath form with parameter can be done like this: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(PathToInfopath + "infopath.exe", "Template.xsn /InputParameters Id=123"); But that requires I know the path to Infopath.exe which changes with each version of Office. Is there a way to simply launch the template and pass a parameter? Or is ...

So I have a form that uses infopath services via sharepoint, and after multiple attempts at attempting to fix a rendering problem (tables appear WAY too wide to be readable), I think I have found the problem : date controls. It seems date controls within Infopath 2007 screw with rendering somehow. To test, I made 2 variations of a VER...

Here are the manual steps: 1) Run the "Publish Form" wizard in InfoPath, specifying the target site to publish to and location...

How can I Submit an InfoPath form to a SharePoint library AND to an email box at the same time when the user hits SUBMIT?
