Limiting what fields are submitted to a database

[jwale73]

Is there a way to exclude certain fields (e.g. long text fields) from being
submitted to the database? I want to maintain the functionality of being
able to type the text in, but don't want it in my database.

Thanks in advance.

What kind of data connection are you using to submit to the database? If
you're submitting through a web service for example, you could implement the
functionality you require.

I've placed the form and the Access database on a Network Server. I'm pretty
new to InfoPath, so I was hoping there was a simple, kludgey way to do this.

I'm not sure there is a simple way, unless you exclude the fields from the
database, which you probably don't want to do?

One thing I cannot understand, though, is: Why would you allow people to
type text in a field you don't want included in your database?
