Dear all,
I am a newbie so please excuse me if I appear dumb...
I have design a form in Infopath with default settings for the submit
button etc.
I have a single datasource which is a text line bound to a control.
I publish the form using the "create new site" option.
In my Sharepoint site, under Documents and Lists I can see the new
site. When I go to the site and look at modify columns and settings,
the template is set to (what I presume is) my new document.
When I click the Fill out this form button, the form opens and clicking
Submit says this form has been submitted ok, BUT NO FORM ENTRY IS
LISTED.
Am I misunderstanding the way that forms should be used? I thought each
time I hit "fill in this form", I would get a new entry in the list
after hitting submit; thus if this was a Service Request Form (for a
broken lightbulb or something), there would be a list of the forms
currently outstanding.
I really, think I am misunderstanding the use of forms and bound data.
I assumed that sharepoint would create working tables to store the
bound data. Correct?
Why do I not get a new entry each time I hit submit (or, in my case,
never)?
To help you wizards answer this, here is a description of my setup: -
Development machine - Win XP Pro, Office 2003, Infopath 2003.
Sharepoint server - Windows Server 2003 and latest Sharepoint with all
patches applied.
To add to (my) confusion if I upload the file, the form seems to appear
but unless I choose to update xml AFTER I have submitted the form, then
the on-screen value of my text column does not alter.
Doh, help, please ...
Kevin
