I have a form that Legal will use to track trademark claims. They want to be able to attach logos to this for for easy reference. It's easy enough to create a file attachment, but is there any way to show a preview of the attached image? The solution has to be usable in a browser enabled form. ...
This is an error I receive from Sharepoint when I deploy a custom workflow to a forms library. The workflow is very straightforward and doesn't do anything fancy. I was reading from the an infopath form, but have since stripped down all non-essential code to see if I can get it working. As far as I can tell, other workflows are fine (...
I have been tasked with automating some of the paper forms in HR. This might turn into "automate all forms" eventually, so I want to approach this in a way which will be best for the long term and will be a good framework as this project grows.

Is it possible to programmatically generate an info path 2007 form template (xsn file=form definition) ? I know that there is no object model for the infopath 2007 form designer, but does anyone know of any third party libraries? The form view itself is a xsl file so it should be possible. I would have thought that its a common use ca...

What are the Benefits of using InfoPath forms in SharePoint? I’ve been doing research on InfoPath to see how it integrates with SharePoint. The idea of letting users create their own forms offers a lot of power, and could enable people to handle some of the small requests they have on their own. However, outside of creating a form lib...
I'm trying to build an InfoPath add-in to allow template editors (as opposed to end users) to preview the form with sample data populated. First, a little background on our environment. We have a custom process that connects to MOSS, downloads the appropriate datasource assemblies for a given form, and invokes them to load data from th...
I'm creating an Infopath form, and what I'm trying to do is populate an extra textbox with the inital value of the field ONLY while loading. I know that sounds weird, an example might be better: -Field 1 starts blank, user changes the field to "100" and saves it. Extra_Field stays blank. -When the form opened again, Extra_Field now popu...
I've created an InfoPath form and added fields, controls, data validation and more, but now wish for the form data to be submitted to an access database. Looking through help guides, however, it seems that the way to do this is to design the database first and then design a new form based on the database. Is there a way to design a dat...

I have a InfoPath template that submits it's forms to a SharePoint server. If the user improperly closes InfoPath the write lock for the form he has open is not removed on the server.

How can I have the Infopath form automatically reset the value of a textbox to "no" each time the form is opened? Programatically I assume is the best answer, but I'm a complete newbie, please be specific! Thanks! :) ...
I'm making an InfoPath form which is tied to an Access database. I have a set of radio buttons where the user selects the software name corresponding to the form, but I store this in my database as a number (1, 2, or 3). In another view, I want them to be able to see the previously entered software name, but not be able to change this....
I would like to create a workflow with SharePoint Designer that will run whenever an item in an InfoPath form library is modified that will check to see if the form has been signed. The form is a travel expense form. It will be created by a user, reviewed by an administrative assistant, and then approved or disapproved by the office ma...
I have two data connections. One (we'll call DC1) pulls FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME from a database. The other, (we'll call DC2) uses this information to query a web service that returns a USERNAME after matching it to another database. On my form, I have a repeating table that lists all the information from DC1. In the repeating table,...
