Can anyone provide me with instructions on how to change views within
InfoPath from the task pane. I have already added an html page to the
task pane but this is as far as I have gotten. Help!?!
Thanks

I should mention that I am not quite the programmer that I used to be.
Can I just call that line in a javascript function (see below)? Do I
have to set any objects?

function SwitchViews()
{
window.external.Window.XDocument.View.SwitchView(A) ;
}

I get the following message:

'window.external.Window.XDocument.View' is null or not an object

Doing it through a function should be fine.
Are you sure you are passing the name of the view as a string [using ""]?

I just hard coded it for test purposes and still get the error...below
is exactly what I have.

function SwitchViews()
{
window.external.Window.XDocument.View.SwitchView("A");
}

Where A is the name of my view.
