Recent testing has shown a couple of querky things when attempting to setup an Infopath form to recieve data from a SharePoint 2007 list. It took a little working out but the following apply;
- SharePoint list items formatted as ‘Multiple lines of text’ with the column setting set to either Rich text or Enhanced Rich text, are not available in Infopath when pulled through a data connection. I only resolved this by setting the item column to Plain text.
- Data pulled through the data connection is related only to the SharePoint list default view. I was pulling information across from a calendar view and only a month’s worth of data was available. You’ll have to set the default view to an ‘All items’ view to pull across all the data.
The font used by default in emails generated by SharePoint Designer workflow is Times New Roman and can look out of place in today’s corporate environments. It appears that there are no obvious ways around this in the workflow gui.
Chancing my arm, I tried basic html to change the font type, size and colour, coupled with tages for hyperlinks and it worked a charm. I also came across this blog post afterwards which covers some of the same ground.
