Enter data in one form but submit a different template to sharepoi

[Bill Brown]

I have a form that submits data to a database and to a sharepoint library via
code. Is it possible to use the NewSolutionwithData method to submit to
sharepoint using a different form template?. The input form has drop downs
and the preferred output doesn't.

Bill,
Try putting a secondary view on the current template this way you can use
different controls to display the data.
With this view created you can then add rules when the form loads to switch
based on the status of the data to the second view.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Thanks Ben, I already have a "Print" view set up. I hadn't thought of using
the OnLoad event to switch them.

Also another question:

is it possible to make only a portion of a form read only? I haven't tried
anything on this yet.

Hey Bill,

You can make parts of the form read only but you will need to configure that
on a control by control basis

Thanks Ben, the switch view worked fine and the info on the read only
controls is a big help.

That's what I'll have to do. When I tried to sign the form any data that's
in the main connection, even sub groups, get locked. I have to be able to
lock only a portion of the main connection data while sub groups, which each
have their own authorization signature fields, would still require approval.

I'll try making the controls read only in a different view.
