The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Need help with VBA MSXML2 DOMDocument syntax to modify Infopath xml form root element data.

Asked by benpope in Extensible Markup Language (XML), Infopath, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: VBA, Access, Infopath, MSXML2, DOMDocument

Hello Experts,

From within an existing Access form  and using VBA, I need to be able to modify and save data in an Infopath xml form.  From what I have researched so far, I think I should be able to programmatically load an xml document and have the ability to read or modify any of the xml data components through the DOMdocument object.  I have be able to figure out how to load an existing xml document and save it under a different name thereby creating a new document.  But I have not been able to figure out how to modify the data contained in the loaded xml document's root element.  So far I have not found a good reference on the syntax to do that.  

In my test example, the Infopath xml document is linked to my Access back-end data tables and has four data fields.  They are Request (number), Description (text), Fab area, (text), and Accept (Boolean).  I want to load an existing Infopath xml form, modify it to contain the open Access form's data set, and then save the Infopath xml form with a new name.  Can someone tell me if this is possible or help with the syntax to do this?

Thanks, and please advise.
Ben

'xmldoc. need syntax to manipulate xml document root element data to match currently open Access form fields
 
xmldoc.Save ("C:\TEMP\infopath tests\" & strNewFormName & ".xml") 'save modified file to known location
