Here’s a quick way to do it without writing code. On a form with a repeating table. Pay attention to the Group that the Repeating table is bound to. Get the source files of the form. (in 2007: File –> Save as source files. in 2010: File->Publish->Export Source Files) Close InfoPath. Open the schema file...

Bottom line: Be very careful installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on a machine that works with custom InfoPath solutions. One of my clients has a customized InfoPath 2007 (Not browser enabled) form, that recently went into production. As it was exposed to a lot more users, each running a different environment configuration, we began to receive complains from people who can't use the form. They were getting the following error message: Because we know the form DOES work on some computers and...
This post is about installation switches available when running Windows Installer files. So, in Part 1 we have created a .msp file that adds the Programmability support to InfoPath 2007. Great. As we went on and deployed it, we confirmed that when users start their computers, the installaion indeed started as expected. The problem is, that this window has a "cancel" button, and some users innocently canceled the installation. Another problem is that the window itself might be intimidating...

I have included the complete set of default properties get returned and their proper naming syntax at the bottom. * This works at InfoPath as well as InfoPath...
Here is something I came across on the InfoPath Forms Services best practices documentation . "ASP.NET employs a strategy of targeting maximum Internet Information Services (IIS) memory use of the lesser of either 800 megabytes or 60% of available physical RAM. These settings are configurable in IIS manager. ASP.NET also monitors physical RAM use, not just for the w3wp.exe process, but for the entire system. When 80% of the physical memory on the server is committed, ASP.NET begins periodically...
Here is a little tip - How to redirect users to a certain page after they have filled out a browser enabled form with InfoPath Forms Services (IPFS): You should look for the "source" query string parameter in the form's URL, and change it to you certain page. That's it! every click on the "Close" button on IPFS toolbar, every rule you have insert that closes the form (i.e. in the submit button), or every other closing of the form will navigate the user to the URL in the...
