Saving the form with Multiple views

C

Chen Romish

I have template with multiple views and all views have
required fields (can not be blank).
when trying to save the form (in run time) i get error message about
required fields
in other views.
Actually i am interested only in the current view data (chosen by the user).
can i have the ability to save only the current view to xml?
or how can i solve error messages about required fields
in other views?
i have InfoPath 2003 SP3 and .net framework 1.1 and visual studio VB.Net
Project.
thanks for your help

Required fields are required fields.

Either the user needs to be responsible for filling the requirements, or you
need to have a default value that will satisfy the requirement or you need to
do your own validation.

One solution is to put default values in but then remove them from a
particular view when the user is going to work that particular view. Another
is to check on submit if all relevant fields have proper values and perform
actions as needed to halt submit until they are taken care of.
