Refresh InfoPath form without closing it

Hello, i'm trying to refresh a section in infopath list form without closing the form. I don't want users to close and open the form again to see the field data. how can i get this done????

Hi Fadnan,
I understand that you want to refresh the InfoPath form without closing it in SharePoint.
I recommend to edit the form and add a Update Form button which is used to refreshes all data in the form.
You can set the Update Form button action by adding a button control to the form, and then going to the
Properties for the button control. The Update Form button action is located in the
Action drop-down list box on the Button Properties dialog box.

How can I close a category in the form central form without closing it as error?

How can I close a category in the form central form without closing it as error?

I'm still not sure I follow - let me see if this is right. You want to have users signing up for something using a FormsCentral form and then when something is full you'd like that section to show as "Closed" or full so nobody else can sign up for that particular event/day/time? If that is the goal FormsCentral does not have any logic to close certain portions of the form.
Thanks,

Open an Infopath form without infopath

A customer is sending a infopath form to my office only some of the people are able to open the form, none of us have infopath.
the form was written in InfoPath 2010, the users using windows 7 with MS Office 2007 are able to open the form. The users windows 7 and Office 2013 are not able to open the form. the problem is the users with office 2013 are the ones that need
to open the form. How do I get the form to open without having InfoPath?

What error are they encountering?
If you have SharePoint Enterprise, you can use Infopath Form Services, which lets you open Infopath in the browser on a SharePoint site.

Complete InfoPath form without InfoPath external customer

I have installed and setup SharePoint 2013 Enterprise and have been using InfoPath form libraries without any issues
I need to create a form that our customers will complete but not all of our customers will have InfoPath installed.
I tried to use the email form but did not show the form in Outlook, instead it just displayed the xml code
My question is what is the best type of from to create and how to allow external customers to view and complete the form
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want users to create and view an InfoPath form when the computer doesn't install InfoPath application. Is it right?
You can design the form using InfoPath in your computer, then publish the form to a SharePoint site. And when you publish, make sure you select "Enable this form to be filled out by using browser". Then after you publish it, users can create or
view or edit the form using browser.
More information, you can refer to the link:

Problem in refreshing Tabular Form On closing Modal Page

Hi ,
          I am not able to refresh tabular form region on close of the modal page.
          can someone help me ?
Thanks and Regards,
Madonna

The fault may lie with the plugin itself. The close event is simply not being triggered. Auto-close and manual close work, but those are the only ones. The other events are not being triggered as the internal event names as defined in the plugin do not match the events triggered from the plugin javascript code.
For example, the close action of colorbox (the js plugin used in the modal page plugin to style the iframe) is bound like this:
         onClosed: function() {
            $(document).trigger('apexmodalpageclosed');
However, when you go to the plugin and edit it, and scroll down to the events section, you can see that for the close event the internal name "modalpageclose" has been filled out.
This means the event will never work with the plugin out of the box. To fix this, simply edit the internal name of the event to "apexmodelpageclosed".
The same issue exists for the open and complete events by the way, where the javascript fires an "apex..." event but the internal name does not match up.

Closing a form without closing application

Hi Everyone!
I have 2 forms. Form A calls Forms B with the following command:
call_form('D:\qa_OperatorClient\SEARCHINFO1',NO_HIDE, DO_REPLACE, NO_QUERY_ONLY,param_list_id);
From what I am reading from Form B I should be able to close Form B and it will take me back to Form A. I am using this command on Form B: close_form;
Please tell me where I am going wrong.... Thanks in advance.

Found the solution. I changed call_form to open_form('D:\qa_OperatorClient\SEARCHINFO1',activate,no_session,NO_SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA,param_list_id);
in addition, on the called form. I closed it by using the following command:
close_form(:System.Current_Form);

Closing form without closing the App

When I try to run my compiled forms with the run time app, I close out of the entire application with the close_form or exit_form procedure. How do I close the form and keep the app open?
Sara
P.S. I tried opening with a form that does not do anything, no fields or anything, and it won't display.
null

Hi Sara,
whenever you open a application through NT command (for instance: f50run32 userid=scott/tiger@default <form_name>) the given form is your starting form.
Most of the time when you develop a application the starting form of that application with an image and the name of the application. Form there you can open other forms through the menu.
When you want to start another form directly from the start form use open_form(<form_name> in the when_new_form_instance trigger. In that case you give the user a certain starting form when that isn't THE starting form of that application.
For example:
2 you have 2 forms (FORM_A and FORM_B). You start your application with
f50run32 userid=scott/tiger@default FORM_A.
Then FORM_A is THE starting form of the application.
In FORM_A, in the when_new_form_instance trigger you call FORM_B.
Then FORM_B is the starting form for the user and not for the application. When you close FORM_B, FORM_A is still active.
Hope this helps!

How do I allow anonymous users to submit an infopath form without using code

I have enabled anonymous users on my sharepoint site and given it as many permissions as I can. I'm able to browse to the site, but I get an error when I hit submit unless I'm logged in as a domain user. I'm also prompted for a login if I click upload
on the site. I'm not really a programmer, I've tried some programming things I found on the web but I haven't been able to make it work.

Hi,
Based my research, OOB SharePoint don’t allow anonymous users to contribute contents(Edit, Upload and Add) into list and library.
This is by design behavior, and it’s a consideration about security in order to help protect your site from potential script injection attacks.
For anonymous users, only the View Item permission is available for libraries.
If you want to know more about this, please refer to
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/enable-anonymous-access-HA010113018.aspx
Hope this helps
Thanks!

How to programmatically publish an Infopath form to sharepoint form library

Hi all,
I am in trouble because i am trying to find out a solution in C# by which i can publish my infopath form (without any help of publishing wizard in InfoPath form).
For this i seen that when we publish it through the publishing wizard it creates a new form library on the sharepoint site and then publish the form in this form library, so as same i want to do this by code.
I have created a code which creates a form library on sharepoint site but i am unable to publish my infopath form in it because i didn't find any method for publish in C#.for this I searched on google(blogs and forums etc..).I have found only upload method
but i want publish method.
Thanks in advance.

site/"))
using (SPWeb
myWeb = site.OpenWeb())
//Test3 is library's name, in which we want to upload the InfoPath form
SPList docLib = myWeb.Lists["Test3"];Stream
fileStream = System.IO.File.Open(@"c:\desktop\Testform.xsn",System.IO.FileMode.Open);
myWeb.Files.Add("test3/testform.xsn",
fileStream);
docLib.Update();

How to create good looking GUI workflows without Infopath forms

Hi All,
I have to create Good looking GUI without using Infopath Forms for use in workflows.
Since Infopath support will gradually go off I want to use some other technique so that it can be used in long run.
Please let me know a good solution.

You can use Visio to obtain nice visual flows.. for your workflow.. In 2013 you can use visual designer..
Please refer link below..

Nintex or K2 are good options specifically nintex if you can afford them..

Submit Infopath form to a dynamic URL without code

I trying to submit an Infopath form to a Document set, the document set will be a different one for each instance of the form. How can the form be submitted to a dynamic location without using code behind? I am in SharePoint online and this is
a limitation.
Thank you
ITGirl

Hi,
If you want to submit an InfoPath form to different locations dynamically, there is no OOB approach without code, since submit option needs static URL value.
Here is a similar issue for your reference:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/1588a8d2-cb43-4090-b2c1-8835d3e8fbe3/dynamically-submit-for-document-library-using-infopath-2010
Without code, to submit form to different locations, you need to manually add submit rules per the Document Sets in your library, such as create a new column for Document sets name, then create submit rules to separately specify destination in submit options.
Here are the steps for your convenience:
1.Insert a text box named “field1” to type the names of the document sets in the InfoPath form.
2.Add a button to submit in the InfoPath form.
3.Add rules in the submit button: Add condition: “field1” is equal to “01”(the name of the document set in my environment) -> Add Submit Data in Run these actions field -> Add Data connection -> Type the URL of the document set “01” and type the
file name you want.
4.According to the different document sets you want to submit to, you could add more rules in the submit button to repeat the step 3.

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Cannot view InfoPath Form on SHarePoint 2013 since I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive For Business

I removed SkyDrive for Business and installed OneDrive for Business on my laptop. After that, I had problems opening a Word and Excel document in a SharePoint site (SP2013). After installing Service Pack2 from Office2010, this problem is solved.
But I still have the same problem with InfoPath. Whenever I click an InfoPath form (I have InfoPath 2010 on my laptop),...
... I get the error "cannot display web page".
When I change the URL
ms-infopath:ofe|u|http://intranet.water-link.be/samenwerken/awwit/Autorisaties/Gebruikersbeheer/2015-02-25%20Aanvraag%20gebruikersbeheer%20voor%20Stephanie%20Geeraerts.xml

I can open the InfoPath form and read it.
Any ideas about how to fix this ? I already tried to restore the Office 2010 via Control Panel - Install Programs but without any success...

Hi Gert,
As I understand, you can’t open InfoPath form in SharePoint 2013 unless you change the URL without “ms-infopath:ofe|u|”.
There are some reasons which maybe cause this issue, and you can try to do things below:
Access CA -> General Application Settings -> Configure InfoPath Form Service -> Check the two options in User Browser-enabled Form Templates.
Go into the registry by typing regedit from the Run line and rename the SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5 key (ex. SharePoint.OpenDocuments.5.old) under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In library settings, click "relink documents to this library".
