Filters don't work with new row

[Jody]

I have several views - each with a filter. When a new row
is inserted in the default view (the default veiw does not
have a filter), it does not immediately get filtered out
in the other views - only after the InfoPath form is
closed and reopened does it get filtered properly.

I tried to issue a thisXDocument.View.ForceUpdate() and it
does not help.

Any ideas?

Do you know if there is way to it programmatically
in .net? I don't want my users to have to worry about it.

What type of control is the filter on? Is there a Refresh

Filter command in the shortcut menu on the left of the
table? Does it get filtered when you choose that command
from the menu?

I have an InfoPath form with 4 views to the same xml data
set. 3 of the views have filters to show only selected
data rows. When a user adds a row in the unfiltered view,
that row should be filtered out of the other 3 views.
But, if the user switches to any of the 3 filtered views
the new row gets included although it shouldn't.

Now, if the user saves and exits InfoPath and then reopens
it, the new row is filtered properly in all views - so I
know that the filters are working as intended. How can I
force the filter to work properly?

Jody,

I still don't fully understand your scenario. I need more

details on what exactly you are trying to do, what you
have already done, what is actually happening as a result,
and what you are expecting to have happen.

There could be an easier way then using code... but I

can't give an answer yet until I understand more.

WOW! That worked! You are amazing! Thank-you soooo much!
Is this documented anywhere?

1. Make a backup of your form template.
2. Extract your form files to a folder.
3. Edit the manifest.xsf file in a text editor
4. Search for and delete any attribute useFilter="yes" on

an xsf:editWith element. Don't delete the element, just
the attribute.

5. Search for and delete any xsf:button elements with the

attribute action="xCollection::refreshFilter".

6. Save the manifest.xsf file and close the text editor.
7. Right-click the manifest.xsf file and choose Design.
8. Test the changes.

If there were no instances of the useFilter attribute,

then I'm not sure what might fix this.
