I have a In-Browser Form I published to SharePoint 2010 via Infopath and have a section in the beginning which pulls the current user data to get their Name, Email, Number, etc. The issue is once a user submits the form and I take a look with the In-Browser feature in SharePoint, the information changes to my info instead of the submitter. However, when I open in the form via Infopath application, it shows the originial submitters info. Is there a way or an option I'm not aware of which will fix this issue?
Found the answer. On the text boxes that pulls the user info, go to the Text Box Properties and under Default Value, deselect the checkbox "Refresh value when formula is recalculated".

We are using the OOTB Approval workflow for some tasks that is kicked off when a user enters info on a custom InfoPath form and clicks submit. The user receives the OOTB email with instructions to 1. Review the task 2. Perform the activities for the task and then 3. Use the Open this Task button within Outlook to approve/reject the task.
When the user clicks to review the task, it opens our InfoPath form that was used to create the item so they can review it. Here, I would like to add buttons for Approving and Rejecting the item so that the user does not have to go back into Outlook and use the Open Task option.
I have looked at the OOTB InfoPath form that Outlook opens with approve/reject but the data connections appear to be related only to that form and I cannot seem to recreate them. I think I need to submit the Approve/Reject strings somehow to some list/data location but I'm not sure how to do this.
How can I add Approve/Reject buttons to my InfoPath form that will approve/reject an OOTB workflow task?
If you are using the task list just for approve/reject, I would suggest not to create the task at all. Add a field in the infopath form with option of Approve/Reject and based on its value you can just change the workflow status of the item as approve/reject.

I Hide the Ribbon in SharePoint so that users who do not have access to administrator does not show, and that's settled, what happens now that does not show the user's name and can not leave the session.
How I can redisplay only part of the session?
Image with access to a group and the user's name is not visible.
Image with administrator access, the user name is.
To display Username try this
<wssuc:Welcome id="IdWelcome" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
Copy and paste the above line anywhere inside a placeholder in the master page.
You can also try security trimmed control in sharepoint master page (Manageweb etc) Google it
When i display a report to a user, they are able to click on the fields on the report. this highlights them and turns them blue. Does anybody know how to disable this? I was looking for a read only or a enabled property but no such luck.
Using vb.net 2010 and the built in version of Crystal 13.0.2
here is an example what the text field looks like when the user clicks on it
example.
I am developing a helpdesk system on sharepoint 2010 for our facility management dept., through which the call agent can log the client's complain through tickets. I have created 3 dropdown lists (asp.net controls from sharepoint designer) in the helpdesk page, reading repectively from our database the "projects", "properties" and "units", and the call agent will select the appropriate choice accroding to the client.
I have created a custom list, it is the helpdesk tickets, and edited its layout in infopath 2010.
I am displaying that list on the same page, but filtered according to the selected unit from the "units" dropdown list, to display the tickets history for that particular unit.
What I need is to set the default value for the "unit" field in the new ticket after the call agent clicks "add new item", to be the value selected in the "units" dropdown list.
I have tried a workaround, by removing those 3 controls and creating a new custom list and called it "engine", and edited its form to have the 3 dropdowns, then adding it as a data source for the ticket form, and displaying the "engine" form on the page.
The value of the unit was passed succesfully, but of course I have to click "save" after I enter the choices for the three dropdowns in that "engine" form for the value to be saved and passed to the "new ticket" form. also it was so much slower and the history filter was not working.
So I need to return to the first solution and keep the 3 asp.net dropdowns, and pass the sleected value of the "units" dropdown to teh "unit" field in the ticket form.
Thank you all in advance :)
I don't think it's possible to inject values into an IP Form. However, consider this workaround:
You create the "projects, "properties" and "units" dropdown's within InfoPath and then map this properties to the SharePoint list. This way, you can still apply SharePoint's default filter/group by/etc behaviour and you actually don't need to code anything yourself :-)
I am try to created a cascade dropdown using infopath 2010 in sharepoint 2010 list. On publishing infopath form i lost data binding setting and it just resets to default "Enter choices manually". It works perfectly only if i dont publish it (preview mode). I even recreated infopath form many times but of no use. It works perfectly on some other site but not on where i want to.
[note: Dropdown are lookup columns]
Check your form settings at dropdown box properties > Browser forms > Post back settings, make sure its set to Always.
