My relationship with InfoPath is love hate. On the one hand it’s so easy to create web forms on the other some of the simplest tasks are incredibly difficult.
Take today’s task – putting a simple URL on a form to open a Nintex workflow page for the form. InfoPath lets you put a URL on a form, but you can only have a static URL or populate it from a data source. The data source must have the full URL.
Easy, make the full URL a calculated field…except that calculated fields can’t user ID as one of the fields. In the end I put a button on the form.
