Can anyone help?

I have an InfoPath form that has a submit button. The submit button sends
the form to an email address. When a user clicks on the form via the email, I
would like them to see a different view (this view is already within the
form).

I have been looking at the OnLoad Event, which I have placed code that
changes the view (so this bit works !!). What I need is to identify the form
via an If statement, which would wrap around the switching view line, but am
having problems as I use VBA/VB.Net so am unfamiliar with the object module.

Many thanks

I wouldn't know how to do this unless I knew the name of the form before
I submitted the form to the email.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for (or if it would work), but
you could try including a hidden "emailed" field in your form somewhere, and
set it to true when the form is emailed. Then you can put a check in your
onLoad event to see if the "emailed" field is true, and set the view
accordingly.

Thanks for the suggestion Russ. Have put this in place, forcing the user to
click on a checkbox, but I still seem to be having problems. The code is
below:

var strValue
strValue = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode"//my:Change/my:ChangeSubmit").text

XDocument.UI.Alert(strValue)

if (strValue.text = "false")
XDocument.ViewInfos("Main View").IsDefault = true;

if (strValue.text = "true")
XDocument.ViewInfos("TUG View").IsDefault = true;

The value (strValue) is correct and is giving me a true or false text value
via the alert. The problem I am having is that the "If" statement is not
recognising the value.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Jackie

It looks like your problem is that you are referring to the strValue variable
as if it were storing a node. Since you have the line:

strValue = XDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode"//my:Change/my:ChangeSubmit").text

strValue is storing a string, so you don't need to access it with
strValue.text
A simple
if (strValue == "false") { code } else { more code }
would work fine.
(make sure to use == for comparison)
