Contact Selector in infopath (view Email also) sharepoint/infopath 2007

Hi,

I created a custom content type of type document in WSS 3.0. I created column called "person" of type "People or Group ". So when I create a new document in SharePoint, there is a contact selector (people picker) in document information panel . But I would like to use InfoPath to edit the contact selector in this way: When a person is picked in the contact selector, another field (also custom column from my content type) will be changed according to the person I picked. I hope it is clear :-)

But in InfoPath when I right click the contact selector, there is no Rules... option, even no Data validation option etc.

What can I do?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a 2007 InfoPath form that is stored on a secure 2007 SharePoint team site that needs to be emailed to outside users for feedback on a certain subject. The form is opened by a team member (with site access), sent to the reviewer to provide feedback (via Outlook 2007), and then submitted back to the team member for review and submission to the SharePoint site.

The issue I've encountered is that the outside user who receives the form in Outlook as the body of the email cannot enter information in any fields in order to provide feedback. The option to "include the form template with the email" is blocked in my InfoPath form options (I believe because the form location is a secured site). I have tried adding the users to permissions in just the library where the form is published to, but they still cannot enter any information.

Can someone provide me with a solution for this problem?

I'm developing an InfoPath 2007 form that is based on an existing InfoPath 2003 form.  When the form is submitted, the customer wants the email message to display the active view of the form and wants the form attached as well.  However, she wants the attached form to display some different fields than the view (don't ask me why).

My question is, is this possible?  I am not aware that you can separate what is in the active view and what is in the attachment (wouldn't the attachment have to be what is showing in the active view anyway?)  She swears the 2003 version of the form achieved this functionality.  I've tried a couple things (hiding/unhiding fields based on rules, switching views), but the view and the attachment always com out the same.  If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi i create a  print view brower enabled form in Infopath 2007 with header and footer. In Infopath works fine. Margin was ok, header and footter to. But then i try to print this browser the margin, header and footer it changes to default setting of browser ? I try also create a print button in form with VS 2008 code, but method :

this.print(); not working.

It is possible to print the "print view" in browser as the same like in Infopath 2007? Does anyone have the code how to create a print button in C# on browser enabled form?

Referring the below link, I created a cascading dropdown. The parent dropdown has sharepoint list as datasource and the child dropdown has xml datasource that points to owssvr.dll filter view. The cascading drop down works fine in preview but throws error after publishing as admin approved form - "form cannot run the specified query" exception when trying to execute xml datasource i.e., when a value is selected in parent dropdown. The security is 'Full Trust". In the event viewer the error message states "401 unauthorised" for the user a/c. the xml data source is an approved udcx file and in central admin, have enabled cross domain for infopath service. I have tried different solution provided in tech forums but issue still exists. Not sure whether Im missing something. Can someone guide me in fixing this issue?

I have added a footer to the print view of a browser enabled form and it is not printing when printing the form. The footer is relatively sinmple, however when I click on print view on the browser form and use print preview, I cannot see the footer at all. I have set bottom margins to auto, however I am using an image in my header and therefore have a section at the top of each page where my page top margin is set to 0 and the margins lie within the bounds of the section at .25". The footer that is not displaying in print preview in the form is as follows;"Quote Number: &{/my:myFields/my:sqnumber&} &b&pof&P&b &b &{/my:myFields/my:group28/my:sqdate&}Revision: &{xdFormatting:FormatString("/my:myFields/my:sqquoterevision","number","numDigits:0;negativeOrder:1;")&} &b Prepared For: &{/my:myFields/my:sqclientname&}"The page setup in IE listed page number and url info when using print preview and I have set them to none because my footer is in the form. Please help, this is frustrating!

Clayton, i sure hope you get this.  I would like to let the form get published to the form library and then workflow can create the new list item with all the required metadata mapped.  if data is updated i would like for the list item data to update as well.  currently i have an infopath form that is web-enabled.  i several views based on a status field as which view to open to.  this form have drop-down fields linked to list already on the sharepoint site.  i have tried using the "Submitting Data from Infopath 2007 to Sharepoint List" and it works as designed but unfortunately i cant customize the fields.  i need a dynamic user friendly form with drop downs etc.  any suggestions?

Hi,   In my proof of concept Moss 2007 WF, I tested an Infopath modification form successfully.  Then the contact selector ActiveX control was added but it failed to open using the modification link of the workflow page.  In a different form for the WF initiation, I similarly created two CS controls and it worked there.  A snippet of the MOSS error is below   Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.ContactPicker.RenderClientViewDataLeafContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ControlViewData controlViewData, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.LeafControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.BaseControl.RenderClientViewData(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.ContainerControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.BaseControl.RenderClientViewData(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext renderContext, ScriptWriter writer)    at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Controls.CollectionControl.RenderClientViewDataContent(XPathNavigator context, IRenderContext rend

Hi there, I've got an Infopath 2007 form on MOSS 2007. I have a custom list in sharepoint and the infopath form has a data connection to that list to receive data. Is there any way to prevent automatic update on the values in the form that is received from the list. I'd like the new form to have updated info received from the list. However, the old/existing forms that were created should have the data that were available at the time when the form was created. Let me know if this is not clear and I'll try to explain more. Thanks,Pman http://www.pmansLab.com/

Hi, I have created an InfoPath form in InfoPath 2007. In this form I am getting data from SQL Server. To do this I have created data source for SQL Server 2008’s Tables. I have created 4 connections for 4 tables. When I am previewing this form from InfoPath Designer 2007, it is working. But when I am publishing this, it is giving me an error ‘Can not update content type’. If I skip this error then my form published but when I open this form from Share Point 2007. It gives me an error:   There has been an error while processing the form. Click Continue to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors. Click Start Over to load a new copy of the form.   An error occurred accessing a data source. An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server. Log ID: 6932 G. Goyal

I have been working this issue for 2 days now.  This has happened to me in the past and I was able to work through it.  It doesn't appear that this time I am going to be so lucky. Issue Description: When publishing an InfoPath form a new column is created that has the same name as the correct one, but a new GUID is created. Troubleshooting steps: I have read this article: http://www.delphi-ts.com/blogs/lozzi/post/2009/06/03/Duplicate-site-columns-in-MOSS-from-InfoPath-Forms.aspx   This was the solution the last time I had this problem.  However, no matter what I do, it is not working now.  I have a column named User Name which is the username of the person that submitted the InfoPath form for use with my Visual Studio workflow.  When the workflow kicks off, it reads this column and attempts to get the value.  The value is blank because a new column with the name User Name now exists and that is where the value is stored.  I attempted to fix it by remapping the GUIDs as described in the article.  I also reverted the code to a previous version from TFS.  None of these worked.   I now have 3 columns called User Name and I can remap the GUID to the second column and third column.  But when I try to map it to the first column (the one I need) it doesn't work. The first column that is circled is the correct column. 

I have created an out-of-the-box document library on a SharePoint 2010 site.  I left Microsoft Word Document selected as the Document Template.  I then added a person or group column and a multiple lines of text column to the document library. I then went into Library Settings --> Advanced Settings and clicked on Edit Template, opening the template in Word.  I created my template and added the two new columns to the document.  I did this using the Quick Parts --> Document Property --> [column name] feature under the Insert tab in Word.  I then saved the template back to SharePoint. Upon opening the template or creating a new document from the template, I get the following dialog box: --------------------------- Microsoft Office InfoPath --------------------------- One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls. As a result, the page might not display correctly. --------------------------- OK   --------------------------- I've searched around (I believe fairly extensively) and have not run into anyone else with the same issue.  Some have mentioned a similar error when creating a custom document information panel in InfoPath, and suggested lowered ActiveX security setti

I want to filter users displayed in contact selector by group.

So, i don't want to display all users but only users in a special group

Sharepoint List in a Repeating table

I have a view with a Sharepoint List showing in a repeating table. I have conditional formatting to hide items that should not show based on Line Total.

Line Total = 4

Approver    Min Amount        Max Amount  
Jim                      3                  9
Jack                    1                   7
Sally                   2                    5

Based on this, I need to sort the Approvers based on Max Amount and send an email to them in order of the sort.  Is this possible?

I'm relatively new to SharePoint and very new to InfoPath. A client I just acquired hired me to develop a fairly complicated InfoPath solution that they want to be able to call from within SharePoint. Right now, they have a new SharePoint 2010 Foundation system and Form Server is not installed. They also currently have Office 2007, including the InfoPath client, on all computers in the workplace (this is an intranet only situation).

First, I created the needed lists/libraries in SP. Then I set to work developing the form in IP Designer 2010 (setting it for IP 2007 client compatibility). While the form is not yet done, I now want to setup a link in a ListView in SharePoint that launches the IP 2007 client on the user's computer, but I'm having troubles figuring out which way to go. There is a fair amount of C# code used by the form and while I'm an administrator on the server, I'm not familiar with setting up certificates to enable full trust (if that's what I need to do).

As a newbie, I'd really appreciate any pointers to existing answers or guidance of whatever sort.

Thanks

I have an InfoPath 2007 form that is opened as a web based form in SharePoint 2010 that has an attachment control.  In Windows XP with IE 7 when you double click the attachment there is a warning message presented and after you click OK you get a prompt that asks if you want to open or save the file or cancel.  In Windows 7 with IE 8 when you double click the attachment there is a warning message presented and after you click OK you get a prompt that asks if you want to save the file or cancel, no open option.  I already set the SharePoint browser permission to permissive for the site and it doesn't help.  How can I get this to work in Windows 7 and IE 8?
