Is it possible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010

I created a custom form in SPD, and need to use Infopath to further modify the form using features not available in SPD. But I can't get Infopath to open the custom form. Even if I selected the custom form in SPD and then click "Edit with Infopath"
in the ribbon, it still opens the default form. From list ribbon, it also always opens the default form, there is no way I can pick the form I want to edit.
Just want to confirm - Infopath can only edit default form (from SPD or the list ribbon), but not any form custom built in SPD.
Correct?

Hi QuickLaunch,
When edit SharePoint list forms in Infopath 2010, it always opens the original default Edit Form of the list.
It is impossible to edit a custom form created in SPD 2010 in Infopath 2010.
I suggest you Customizing SharePoint List Forms
in InfoPath 2010 directly.

Could not verify the form template on the target server + infopath 2010

I am getting the could not verify the form template on the target server + infopath 2010
warning in the infopath form.
The design checker task pane I see a warning saying "Could not verify the form template on the specified server". I cannot find
anywhere in msdn or google addressing this warning. Inspite of this warning i tried to quick publish the form, and then i get an error saying: "The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in the InfoPath Editor because it contains
feature that are not compatible with web browsers, to fix this problem, click close and review the errors in the Design Checker task pane"
Md. Tariq

Hi Tariq,
Please make sure:
SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features site collection feature has been activated.
Go to Form Options > Compatibility > Select the Form type as Web Browser Form.
Try to publish the form to the root site of the site collection as a content type.
If the problem still persists, please check whether there is any binding issue or logical issue. If the problem still cannot be solved, could you please try to create a new form and see how it works?

How to use custom forms created in SharePoint 2007 to work in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We have created some custom forms in SharePoint 2007 (for add a New item and Edit item for some list and libraries) after migration to SP 2010 we found out thet we can use those custom forms because the document versions are 12.0.0.0 which
should be 14.0.0.0 in SharePoint 2010
Could someone please tell me if we can migrate forms from SP2007 to SP2010 as well?
I even tried to change document Version and content but still not working! Do we need to recreate those forms in SP2010?
Thanks
Kate

Hi Khojasteh,
How did you do for changing document version and content?
Whether you tried to set the forms update automatically, then re-publish them.

InfoPath 2013 customized forms no longer working after linking Sharepoint 2010 list to MS Access 2013 database

Hello,
I am having trouble with my infopath form now that I have linked my Sharepoint list to an Access database.
Background: I created a simple SharePoint list and a few workflows to have users submit requests for changes to my organization's EMR system and have those requests be approved by the appropriate manager/department. I used
InfoPath to customize my form so that it would hide/show different portions depending on what the user selected. The form has 3 views: NewItem, EditItem, ViewItem.
Issue: The form and workflows were working great until I linked my SharePoint list to an access database so that I could run queries and reports using that information. Now when I click "Add New Item" on my Sharepoint site,
the correct form opens but the fields do not allow me to input any data and some of the formatting for the form has changed (ie: the text boxe fields are no longer centered. I opened the form in InfoPath and it displays perfectly fine in there but
not once it's published to the site) .
The only way that I've been able to input new data is using Datasheet view in SharePoint.
Is there a way to fix this issue? I really need to be able to have the customized forms for users to fill out the information since most users are not familiar enough with SharePoint to expect them to be able to use Datasheet view to submit their requests.
Again, I'm using InfoPath 2013, Access 2013 & SharePoint Server 2010
If the issue cannot be fixed, how can I disconnect or unlink my SharePoint list from the Access database because when I cliecked on "delete list" from inside Access, a warning popped up stating that it will also delete the list off of SharePoint
as well. If I can get the list back to the state it was in before linking to Access then I'll be happy enough to export it excel and then importh the excel file to Access as a work around for reporting purposes since I don't have to run the reports that
often.
Any insight would be very helpful!!

Hi Bostic,
I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the InfoPath form was not affected if I used the list as external data in Access database.
The issue may be due to the browser you used.
I recommend to verify the things below:
Change another browser to see how it works.
Add the site to the trusted zone and add to compatibility settings in Internet Explorer.
Test with a new list to narrow down the issue scope.
As a workaround, you can save the list as a template including content, and then create a new list based on this template.

SharePoint 2010 and InfoPath 2010 - Load data from another form

Hello,
I have two questions on this topic.
Is it possible to open an empty InfoPath form and give the user the option of loading it with data from a previously submitted form? They want the ability to save some time of filling in some fields that were entered in an earlier form. Any description
of how or a link would be appreciated.
Also, if I create an InfoPath form template in a SharePoint Form Library like above, the user would like to be able to have multiple forms associated with each other. There would be some key that packaged them with each other. Then from within
one of the form, there would be an option to submit the whole "package" at once. All the forms associated with that one key. Again, any examples or links would help.
Thank you!

You can use InfoPath Query Data connection to point to a library / list where your data is located.
For loading data, you should be using Form Load event, and then populate ID's to a Drop down list.
when the user selects the ID from the Drop Down list, you can write another rule to query data based on the ID's from the list and store the values in your current form.
For the second question, you should try creating a single form with multiple views. and show hide views based on user or business logic.
You can write multiple submit rules to submit Form data to different different library / list.
here are some links for your reference -

How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

Hi All,
I have list with some Lookup columns like City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath 2010 Rules, writing rule in Xpath.
Thanks in Advance.

1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

Creating Editable PDF from Form Created in LiveCycle

I believe the anwser is no, but I want to confirm. If I create a pdf form in LiveCycle Designer, can I load and populate that pdf form with a different library such as iText or do I have to use continue to use the LiveCycle PDF Services. (2.5)
Thanks

Yes, you can update forms from designer with data from any number of libraries, from iText to the Adobe PDF Java Toolkit to any variety of .NET products. The key is that there are different APIs for the XFA form (you update the XML data stream in the XFA area) and acroforms (where you update individual fields or update through FDF/XFDF import).
Also, keep in mind that a reader-extended form or a signed form should be changed in incremental update mode or you'll lose the rights and the signature.

Editing a custom dictionary?

Hello!
I clicked "Learn Spelling" by mistake. How can I undo this? Is there any possibility to edit the custom dictionary?

Hello Rustam,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can edit your custom dictionary in ~/Library/spelling/
Depending on your language, you'll find there a file it or en.
If you open that file with TextEdit, you'll see all words listed in a line without separator. However, words are separated by a control character that looks like "^@" in other editors (e.g. emacs in Terminal.app).

User message entered in Validation settings does not show up in custom list form created in sharepoint designer 2010

I have a custom list form created in SPD based on EditItem form. I then set field validation in Validation setting and entered a user message to display when the validation did not pass.
The validation works in the custom form but the user message never show up.
I see a similar question posted in 2012:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cd292b50-856f-4dfa-8cfe-aeb688ee7185/validating-fields-on-a-sharepoint-2010-custom-list-form?forum=sharepointgeneralprevious
Is this still a known bug? What is the easiest workaround?

Hi ,
From the
above link you mentioned, have you tried using the code line in your custom form?
Please try the code suggested by sp-achiever and hamish, and see if it could help solve the issue.
<SharePoint:ItemValidationFailedMessage ControlMode="New" runat="server" ID="checkform" />
Have you installed hotfix KB245789 or CU contained this kb?
Please check if KB245789 has fixed this issue as KP2011 suggested in the same post, and please try it in a test environment firstly.

Is it possible to edit vector art pasted into Pages 4.1?

Is it possible to edit a vector shape created in Illustrator and pasted into Pages 4.1? I can adjust the transparency, scale it, even put a drop shadow on it, but I can't change the color which is all I want to do.

It has a drawing tool at the end of the Shapes menu but it is oddball and a little clumsy compared with what Illustrator offers and it only edits Pages' native objects.

Infopath custom form error

I have a custom form created in Sharepoint that has a people picker field. When this field is populated with an employee email who has left the company and I try to change it to a current employee's email, I get this error:
Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked either with a red asterisk.......
There is only one field in the form that is a required field and is filled in. This problem doesnt occur when I change the current employee with another employee. I am a Sharepoint newbie so please pitch in with your inputs. Thanks in advance!

hello Vidswar,
there's couple of probabilities here! it could be a validation in a rule, it could be a data validation error, for example, you have a date field where it has a text typed in it.
First thing first, usually when you get this error in a infopath form, the field or data with error will be colored in red for you to notice and change it! try to modify the existing form again and fetch your form for a red-labeled data (it could be the
people picker).
i would first ask you to make sure you're using the people picker correctly! (i assume you could miss-use it), in people picker, there's 3 ways you can fill in, (1)typing the account name for the user (for Aabed Yassine for example it could be Ayassine),
(2) typing the user name (Aabed Yassine), (3) if you dont know whats the exact user name or their account, click on the book icon in the people picker, where you can browse and search for users.
NOTE: user name/ account/ email in people picker should be udnerlined automatically if the username/ account/ email you specified is VALID, make sure to check this!
if you're sure you're filling the people picker with a valid data:
-Run through your form rules, get to know what rules you have, what they do and when.
-what is your required field type? what's filled in it, and is there ANY rules on it.
from the ribbon> home tab> click on rules. Now click on the required field and check if there's any rules on it (field rules will appear in the Rules panel after you click on the field).
also..
You can always go to Data tab from the ribbon> select
Rules Inspector to view all rules written in your form.
good luck
let me know how it goes.

Can I combine a form created in Livecycle Designer with a standard pdf to create a new document?

I have a fillable form that I created with Livecycle Designer along with two standard pdf files. When I try to combine in Acrobat Pro 10 it identifies the form with XML data and will not allow me to complete the process. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

No you cannot... this is one of the things my organization struggles with. I love livecycle becuase of its dynamic form capabilities, but we have so many other pre-built pdfs in adobe pro that can not be merged with these forms. It is truly frustrating!!! wish i had a better answer for you. Also from the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer' page 6... "The PDF files that Designer creates are structurally different than other PDF files...... LiveCycle Designer can edit a PDF form created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can not edit a PDF form created in Designer." Likewise... XML pdfs do not merge with other pdfs. JoBeth

Form Created in LiveCycle 8 compatibility with Office 2010
