MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2006Display word & excel xml in InfoPath
Hi, I need to display word & excel content in the InfoPath form. Is it possible to display it in its original format? I tried using Rich Textbox and Expression Box controls, but was unsuccessful. I am basically trying to use InfoPath as presentation tool where we have links to other views in the main view. Other views should import and display word or excel content. Is InfoPath capable of doing this? Or, is it only for collecting data and saving it in XML format. I am new to InfoPath and I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, Sreedhar Hi Sreedhar, Try using the Hyperlink Control instead of Rich Text box or Expression Box Link the Hyperlink to the Word and excel Files When you click on the Hyperlinks it directly opens the Word or excel files Hope this workaround is helpful -- Kalyan Reddy Visit http://www.autonomysystems.com > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Sreedhar Thanks for your response. I want to save the word content inside the InfoPath form (possibly in xml format) so that it would be loaded at the form load. If I have hyperlink to doc, it will be slower to load Word and open the doc. In the final form, I would have a view that has links to other views which contain word and excel content. The user wants the data to be shown almost instantaneously when he clicks the hyperlink in the first view. Thanks, Sreedhar I want to add a hyperlink to a form to shell out to an executable on the PC. (not a networked PC). The only way I've been able to make it work is when the PC is on the internet. Is there a syntax or command for the hyperlink control that will allow it to connect to an exe on the PC? Example: \\127.0.0.1\sharename\xxxxx.exe works if on internet. c:\sharename\xxxx.exe or c:\pathname\xxxx.exe doesn't work. > Hi Sreedhar, > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > > > Sreedhar
