MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / April 2007Create new record by clicking a check box
In Access, I can create a new record is a check box is selected. For example, if I want to create a follow up appointment notice, I can select the number of days in the furture for the appointment, then check create appointment. Then using code I can get Access to create the appointment. Can this be done in InfoPath? Thanks Almost anything for which you can write code can be done in InfoPath. It is much more difficult to get things done in InfoPath without writing code. So yes, it can be done, but will require you to write code. But if you can do it in Access, and you know how to do it in Access, why do you want to use InfoPath? --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > In Access, I can create a new record is a check box is selected.

The question that I tried to raise was more: Why are you doing that? InfoPath forms and Access forms are two entirely different things. Access is an application platform, while InfoPath is a tool to build electronic forms. InfoPath should not be used to build applications, because that's not its intended purpose. The choice is always yours, of course... --- S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton > I am converting an Access form to InfoPath and I want to include all the > features.
