MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2007Can i drill down from one form into another?
I am looking for a way to link two infopath forms together. For example, I have a form that has 300 entries in a repeating table. I have another form that has a summary of the data from the first along with other forms. I'm looking for a way to have the user click a button on the summary form and open the 300 item form from within infopath. What i have so far is that i could trigger the Application.XDocuments.Open(urlToXmlFile) command, but that requires the user to know the full URL to the Xml File in the Library. Is there another way I could get a link to an existing form on the server? As it is, I would probably have a button that the user could click to set a link to the xml file and then a button open the form. Any ideas/suggestions? Typically you would just have a second view in your form. Put a button on each row which selects that row and switches to the other view which displays the details. You can also create a master detail form.

The master form will only store data about that form in XML and links to the subforms. The subforms would have their own set of data and XML for each one of them. A view wouldn't work in that situation. Thanks though, Rob > Typically you would just have a second view in your form.

One action you can put on a rule is to open another form from a button selection. You can also pass variables from one to the other via code or I have also had a flag field in my data that I write to with the first form and then the second form uses the flag to know which record to detail.
