Submission errors through web services to Database to be reportedback to Infopath

[Jerone Croos]

Hello All,

I am trying to understand whether we could capture any Database update
errors before allowing the Infopath form to close after submission and
report it back to the user? We are having this solution around
Sharepoint, Webservices, SQL Server and Infopath 2003. The submission
from the form is happening through the web services. I am looking for
your valuable suggestions.

you can achieve this though validation in the form. Use a new field that is
not displayed on the form.

When the form is submitted its FIRST rule is to the NEWFIELD's value to ON.
Then setup validation on the form to be conditional on the actual validation
AND that NEWFIELD = ON, that way before the submission to the web service
happens Infopath stops the submission to point out the errors.
