pcteckkk,

Good Morning! I just began using InfoPath a few months ago. I think i may have what you're looking for. I designed a Daily Maintenance form that requires approval by our Analysts. Once they click "Approve", it saves a copy to SharePoint and e-mails it to my group.

Would you tell me what you've already completed? Do you already have two views setup? Have you already created Data Connection to submit a form using an e-mail address?

Thanks,

Bryce

we dont know how to use or anything yet.
i was hoping to see some/a example

were wanting to use like hr forms, vacation requests/PO requests that get created and emailed to various folks for approval
then to the final director for approval or not.

thanks Bryce

Louiem,

You do not need sharepoint to use infopath. If you would like an example infopaht file, feel free to e-mail me.

Thanks,

Bryce

I want to use Infopath to route a form for signatures and having difficulties getting it route from one address to the next. Has anyone done this already and can you help me?

One thing I have "made work" is having a tickbox as an approved field.

This way, when the form is submitted, I use custom rules to change the value of the field from 0(false) to 1(true). Then with conditional formatting, if the value of approved1 = 1, it will show the next bit of the form for the second manager.
Not pretty, but effective.
