MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / July 2005Repost: Rich Text
Can I populate a rich text box using a data connection to a Sharepoint List? I am having no luck. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Hope this helps, Matt the "Firewall" Phillips Sorry Matt, but it doesn't. Let me rephrase my question. How do I populate a rich text box field using a connection to a sharepoint list? > You can do whatever you set your mind to. > > Hope this helps, > Matt the "Firewall" Phillips This is my first time offering advice, but the following works for me: 1) Set up a Data Connection that points to your SharePoint list. When you name your collection e.g. "List" it will show up as a secondary data source in the data source task pane. There is a dropdown that toggles between data sources. 2) Create your rich text box, then rightclick and select "change binding." This will bring up your primary data source but you will see another dropdown in this dialog. You will be able to bind to the secondary data source. For step 1, you will have to say, retrieve data when the form is opened. Alternatively you can trigger this retrieval from a rule. > Sorry Matt, but it doesn't. Let me rephrase my question.

I have done what you suggested with no luck. It tells me that the box needs to be bound to a rich text field in the list. When I set up a rich text field in the Sharepoint List my data connection does not recognise the field. What have I done wrong? > This is my first time offering advice, but the following works for me: > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] >> > Hope this helps, >> > Matt the "Firewall" Phillips |
