ItemAdded Event not always returning SharePoint field information when InfoPath form submitted

Posted By: Posted Date: April 10, 2011 Points: 0 Category :C#

(SharePoint 2007)

I am struggling with an issue related to InfoPath and use of the ItemAdded event handler. I have created an InfoPath form that contains several fields that are being published to SharePoint fields in a Forms Library. When I submit a new form, the SharePoint data is being correctly updated. ian see it in the list. However, I am trying to write an ItemAdded event handler that performs specific logic based on the value of one of the InfoPath/SharePoint fields for the form being added to the library. The logic appears to work correctly the first time through. I can sucessfully read the value from the field and then execute my logic. However, subsequent submissions appear to not be able to read the values. It is like they don't exist or are null. I am thinking that it has something to do with threading but I cannot find a work around for this problem. The interesting thing is that the same exact logic works correctly when the ItemAdded event handler is tied to a standard Document Library. Any word documents that are being added always read the values correctly.

Does anybody know what might be causing this or a possible way around this issue?

InfoPath Calculated Field doesn't Post to SharePoint List when form is submitted

I have a nice InfoPath form that includes a calculated total field. That works great. The form is published to a SharePoint list and when users of the form Submit the form to the list the form information neatly populates to the list. Well, all of the fields populate to the list except for the calculated total field, that one is just blank. Naturally, I've noodled around to figure out why and therefore I'm here now asking for guidance. What should I be focusing on to resolve this issue?

Thanks

How to read a column of a sharepoint list to a text string field of infopath form?

My infopath form used to read these email addresses from a web service and web.config file. Now i would like to get these user email addresses from a contact list in a sharepoint server. I am trying to do this without writing any codes. Here is what i have done so far: 1. Adding a new "data connection to receive data from SharePoint library or List" where i selected Email Address column of the contact list. 2. I added a new Text Field and define a new rule with "Query using a data connection" defined above. When i try to access the newly created Text field above it always return empty as if the Query attached to it did not executed at all. What did i do wrong? Is there a better way? Thank you in advance for your help.

Infopath Brower enabled form not visible in the sharepoint library after being submitted

Hi, I have created a infopath browser enabled form to submit to a sharepoint form library, however the submitted forms are not visible in the sharepoint link structure. I'm able to see them in the SPD structure. I'm using infopath 2007 and MOSS. I actually created a SPD workflow which retrieves specific values from the submitted form and saves it to another sharepoint list. This works fine even if the forms are not visible. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Map an InfoPath form field to a SharePoint column

I am trying to create a custom SharePoint list template feature (feature.xml, schema.xml, the whole nine yards), which is based on the OOTB XML Form Library in MOSS 2007. I copied the XmlFormLibrary feature out of the FEATURES folder on my SharePoint server, and made a few minor modifications (changed the feature name, new GUID, added some fields in schema.xml, created a new content type for it, etc...).

What I ultimately want to do is publish an InfoPath form template into it as the document template for the library, and I would like to be able to map certain fields in the form template to fields in my custom SharePoint library template. In InfoPath, I open the Publishing Wizard andÃÂ go through the typical steps to publish to a Document Library. I then choose the columns in my form that I want to promote to fields in the form library, and select the appopriate fields to map to in the form library. I publish the form, and do not get any errors or warnings.

However, when I choose "New" from the form library and fill out the form and save it, only certain fields in the library are actually being populated from the form. Specifically, this seems to work fine for a date/time field I am using, but does not work for the "Location" field. I am using the OOTB "Location" field from the "Core Contact and Calendar Columns" group. Ev

Unable to get AD profile information using InfoPath form in Sharepoint 2007 browser mode

I have followed the threads on this but haven't been able to resolve the issue with any of the suggestions provided. I need to get the user's first and last name from their profile. I created an InfoPath form using the "Get current user without writing code" blog directions I ran across here, using the standard userprofileservice.asmx service. Everything works fine so long as I don't use the SharePoint browser option. Then I get the error:

An error occurred accessing a data source.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.

Log ID:5566

I have attacked this from every angle I can think of:

IE, Design checker - OK, SSP account, my account have AD read access, no problems getting to the site collection, as stated before, runs fine if I don't use the browser option

Converted the connection to a udcx stored in the same site as the form library - tried both converted and unconverted connection - same problem, removed the connection altogether, everything works fine (but, of course, no profile info), works under InfoPath using either connection

Set form with Domain trust

Published it to a form library, also tried admin approved with full trust and signed - same problem

Ran locally on SharePoint server and remotely - same problem

How to allow only your team to update a field on web based InfoPath form in SharePoint

Hello and thanks for reading,

I am relatively new at creating an InfoPath form for SharePoint but did accomplish a lot so far. Right now I am in a bind! I am almost completely done but can not figure out how to allow only my team members to change a field in the form and NOT have the users touch the field. This form is a "reguest" form for tasks to be completed by our team. I created a "status" field and a "assignee" field and do not want anyone else to touch. I believe this an InfoPath and not a sharePoint function, correct?

InfoPath Workflow Task Form "Loading" event handler only being called after App Pool recycled.

I have a Workflow that is using an InfoPath task form. In the "FormEvents_Loading" method event handler I have some code that needs to run each time the form is opened. I recycle the App Pool and open the form the code runs perfectly, but if I close and try to re-open the form the code is not run at all. I can then recycle the App Pool again and on the next load the code executes just fine. The code that is supposed to be run is a very simple statement to set a field value, so I don't think it is interfering.

Does anyone know what this might be?

Thanks,

Insert image into Infopath form and save to SharePoint as PDF file

I have an InfoPath web-enabled form in MOSS 2007, that is integrated with a K2 blackpoint process for an approval workflow.

Once the form (a Purchase Order request form) has been approved in the K2 workflow process, I switch the form view to a "print-friendly" view for the requestor to view from the browser. However, now I need to go one step further with this scenario:

1) I need to somehow insert/embed an image with the scanned-in signature of the approver (likely stored in a SP doc library) at the signature line section of my form. Also, what are the security requirements for storing such images, but not granting all users access to these (e.g. only services accounts that need to access this for embedding into the form, etc.)?

2) Then I need to convert this final "print-friendly" view of the form (with the signature image) to a PDF document so that I can store it in SharePoint (and email it to the requestor using K2's email event capabilities).

Can anyone help me with a solution to both of these requirement, or point me to some resources for this (even 3rd party components are open-game).

thanks!

Submtting Calendar items with variable date information via InfoPath 2007 form

Hi-

I've seen several posts regarding submitting to a list using and InfoPath form which I am successfully able to do in limited form. (only passing a basic date value) My environment: MOSS 2007 Enterprise w/SP2, InfoPath 2007, SPD 2007.

I'm basically trying to recreate a calendar form with the same data elements (and some additional ones for a specific business requirement) as the standard calendar newform.aspx form. (start time, end time broken down by date, hour, minute and All day event)

I need the form users to be able to select the date and if it is not an All day event...be able to select the hours and minutes just like on the newform.aspx. (date picker control for date and drop downs for hour and minute selection)

On submit I then need to create the list item with the appropriate data passed via a workflow.

My Start Time has a validation rule to not allow dates prior to the current date (and it can't blank) The End Time has a validation rule to not allow dates prior to what is specified as the Start Time value. (Also can't be blank) When I attempt to include conditonal formatting to hide the hour and minute drop downs if 'All Day Event' is selected I get errors stating the fields can't be blank.

I also can't figure out how to pass the entire date/time values or the All Day Event to the list withou

InfoPath Form not showing up in Sharepoint Form Library

I have set up a template form setup that users can fill out and then by pressing the submit button sends an email.My current issue is, when I publish the form to sharepoint, I don't see it, I have sharepoint set to view all documents and I still don't see it. I can get to the form by clicking the "view my form in browser" pop up after I'm done publishing it. I would like the users to just be able to click on a link in the library, but I can't find where it was published.Any insight on this would be great thanks.
