Client wants to generate a report on...
buhlig 06.07.2006 19:51:02
Hello, I hope someone can point me in the direction that is needed, I am
fairly new to InfoPath generaly speaking and I am not sure how this can be
done. I have a client that has a large form being used for rollouts of new
company locations with a lot of pull down menu selections. He would like the
pulldowns that are in use to be printed on a report where the ones that are
not selected to be ignored. Secondary objective is to have it generate a
report for different areas of the form meaning he would like a report for
issues in the telecom area and another for the electrical portion of the
form. Is this easily done within InfoPath? I have done some research and
have not seen anything that would point me in the right direction.

Thanks for your input.

per clients request they wanted me to add to the post that this has to be on
a single tablet PC they are using it on site without access to a network or a
SQL back end

Well, a couple of ideas. Use a microsoft access database on the tablet PC
and tie the form to that database. You can then pull the reports you want
from that DB. Or you could later import the access data into an SQL server.
another option is to use MSDE on the tablet PC.
