MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2007Submit to database option is not available
After creating an Infopath form thru' the method of File > Design a form, then selecting New from data connection, I still do not have the option of Submitting to database when I add a command button. Why is that so? The only options available are "Email, Web Service, SharePoint form Library, Web Server (http), Custom submit using form code and Custom submit using rules" When you design a form template based on the Database schema, using File --> 'Design a Form' . You'll get the following 2 options a) New Record b)Run Query The 'New Record' has the built-in action to update the database. If you want to write the same action using actions option it's not provided out-of-box. You can call a web service or write the custom code using web services to do the job. This is how the product is designed currently.
