This sucks when retrieving from large lists i.e. more than 5000 items and doesnt work.... even my grandma can handle more rows!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982404.post-76325479279486919942010-05-30T11:32:36.645-05:002010-05-30T11:32:36.645-05:00I salute you!

I tried everything so far and i m really pissed off with it! Politics in the name of business,.... and the most important piss takes goes to:<br />1) no multiline text box in secondary data sources nested within sections (i.e. imagine u want to retrieve-submit to and from XML web service (the only easy submition for lists in infopath secondary datasources) such as this example: (http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/matt/archive/2006/02/02/Add-SharePoint-List-Items-with-InfoPath.aspx) unfortunately works ok but no control over the appearance of controls and NO multiline text box... so no nicely edited comments in comments table.<br />2) SP foundation 2010 / or SP Server 2010 runs only 64bit server.... nice one i will have to save some money on my next bonus to buy one.... <br />3) Sandboxed (since when code is a luxury) solutions require administrator approval.... Yeah right very nice when working in a large corporate environment and the admins don’t even know what that means... <br />4) The default Sharepoint-list infopath form that binds everything automatically does not allow for code editing! Yeah some things better remain unknown!<br />5) The end user experience sux when everything you used to know about .net it meant to be working but actually it needs admin setup. And when the big boss says disable external DB connections/Code etal i say Sharepoint-Infopath-M$-Politics SUXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX<br />6) Lets hope Infopath 2020 will address these issues!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982404.post-10121328441418858292009-09-18T11:33:45.132-05:002009-09-18T11:33:45.132-05:00You're either lying; or have no idea how to us...You're either lying; or have no idea how to use infopath.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27982404.post-63688629176111770552009-02-03T15:17:00.000-05:002009-02-03T15:17:00.000-05:00I googled "Infopath sucks" and your blog appeared....I googled "Infopath sucks" and your blog appeared...you are right bro¡<BR/>I have to work on infopath (politics :S) with an access connection, and i am frustrated; the queries on infopath are just plane selects (I need the WHEREs, the LIKEs...but noooo... "you can do anything with just 8k" righ Bill?), the security alerts appear every 10 seconds, and also, as you said, the control over the "controls" is just follow a line... I AM SO PI$$ED OF... <BR/>Anyway, again, you are right bro...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
