copied!<p>It depends a bit on your available tool set, skills and exact requirements.</p> <p>There are 2 main ways of pre populating data inside an InfoPath form.</p> <ol> <li><p>Export the relevant fields as part of the form's publishing process. The fields will then become columns on the Document / Forms library from where you can manipulate them either manually, via a Workflow or wherever your custom code is located.</p></li> <li><p>Directly manipulate the form using code similar to what was provided by Axel_c previously. The big question here is: what will trigger this code? An event receiver on the Document Library, a SharePoint Designer Workflow, a Visual Studio workflow etc?</p></li> </ol> <p>If you are trying to do this from a SharePoint Designer workflow then have a look at the <a href="http://www.muhimbi.com/blog/2009/12/embed-c-or-vb-code-directly-in.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Workflow Power Pack for SharePoint</a>. It allows C# and VB code to be embedded directly into the workflow without the need for complex Visual Studio development. An example of how to query InfoPath data from a workflow <a href="http://www.muhimbi.com/blog/2009/12/sharepoint-workflow-power-pack-user.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">can be found here</a>. If you have some development skills you should be able to amend it to suit your needs.</p> <p>I also recommend the site <a href="http://www.infopathdev.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.infopathdev.com</a>, they have excellent and active forums. You will almost certainly find an answer to your question there.</p>
