Deploying Infopath Template with out Infopath Services Enabled.

Hi,

Here i am discussing about one of my experiences in Infopath Deployment.

Actually, we don't have Infopath services enabled (Available) in the SharePoint server.

So,
1) I had developed an infopath form (Web enabled).
2) In Tools -> Form Options -> Security and Trust, select Full trust and create certificate.
3) Deploy it on the desktop.
4) In the SharePoint site add the code to run "infopath.exe " command with the file name of deployed template.

Getting Rich text content from SharePoint List to Infopath.

Hi,

If you want to get the content of SharePoint List into Info Path, you can do it using Data Connections ( Data Sources).

But the problem is:

You can not get the reference to the columns of type Rich Text box ( Multiple Lines of Text (Rich Text));

Here is the solution:

1) Modify the column to Multiple of Text ( Plain).
2) Add the Data Source to the Infopath.
3) Go back to the list and change the Column type back to Rich text.

Note:- In the process of converting the column type back and forth you may miss some content in that column.

Don't change the Column names of Repeating talbe in Infopath.

Hi,

Today when I was trying to display the data of a Data Source in the form of repeating table in InfoPath, I observed one thing.

That is the column headers in the repeating table are used as the references to the list to query and get the content.

EG:- After dragging and dropping the datasource on to the template and display it as Repeating table.

And if you change the Column name in Header, that column will loose the control to display data.

Even in the Data Binding options you can observer the unknown column.

Datasource in Infopath pull the items from the view of list.

Hi,

Today when I was working with InfoPath to get the list items from SharePoint List using Data Connections (Data Sources), I observed that it is pulling only first hundred items.

Then, I changed the items limit in default view of that list to 200. Then the data source in InfoPath is pulling the first two hundred items.

So, that means it is pulling the data from the Default view.
