MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2006Infopath Access Database connection
I just started using InfoPath 2003. I have setup my Database and connection and form. When I add the submit button it does not provide me with the select database in the Submit to box of the submitting forms dialog box? I can select email, sharepoint library, web service, web server, submit by codes, submit by rules, but don't have the database option. I am following the microsoft how to guide, step 5. What am I missing? Any assistance appreciated. thanks vjg There's a good article on the web site Infopathdev.com about creating database connections. One point that you should check is whether you specified primary keys on each of your database tables. It sounds like Infopath isn't displaying the database option because you haven't met all the requirements for the data connection to be made. > I just started using InfoPath 2003.

The last screen of the data connection wizard should tell you if the connection will support submit. I had the same problem. I found that I had set up the form first and then inserted the connection...wrong. The connection needs to be set up first. You can then drag the necessary fields into your form and the submit should then indicate your database. I found the tutorials on this web site very helpful. Try reading the one entitled "An introduction to submitting InfoPath forms. Good luck!  Signaturesue > I just started using InfoPath 2003. I have setup my Database and connection > and form.
