MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / September 2004printView
I would like to change which of two different views is used to print a form based on data available at run time. I know how to set this a design time but not run time. I'm pretty sure it can be done, but haven't yet figured it out. Any ideas? Also, is it possible to change a background image for a view at run time? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. The print view must be set at design time. I'm not sure of any way to do this at run time. As for the background image changing -- take a look at the InfoPathDev.com Example I posted yesterday titled, "Rudimentary Animation"... this may or may not work for you due to its restrictions and whether your image is on the body tag.

A workaround may be to change the data view based on that fields value before printing. If "Department" = HR switch to the HR view (using code). This could be done in a short "identification" view where you get "user name" and "dept". Then InfoPath switches to their view (which could all be same except for different print views). If you haven't jumped into code yet, you could have a button that would switch views based on the value of Department. This isn't very elegant, but it accomplishes what you need.

Thanks, I thought of using multiple print views to handle the different background images necessary, but when that didn't work I didn't think of using multiple main views to handle the different print views. I think that will work for me. >I agree with Greg that this is not supported. A workaround may be to change > the data view based on that fields value before printing.
