    I don't know if this is the board this should go on or C# board. I have created a large InfoPath form for a client. I have reached my limit on promoting fields to a sharepoint list. Is there any way I can promote fields to a different sharepoint list or promote fields to multiple sharepoint lists? Maybe, by changing the GUID number in the xsn file and point it to a different list? PLEASE HELP!! Thank you in advance!

      It has been a while but yes you can accomplish this. I have done a codeless InfoPath form when submitted it will actually send data to multiple lists. I beleive you have to connect to the lists within the info path form first. Then drop all the lists onto the InfoPath form. Now you should have all the fields from all the lists showing on the InfoPath form. Thats the easy steps. Next you have to open the XSLT for the InfoPath form and manually move the fields that you want from one list area to another list area. I think that is how I did it. I am not 100% sure. I think I also experimented with dropping a list on an InfoPath form and then hiding it. Next you can drop a text box on the form that when a user hits submit, it can copy the context of the box into the field (which is hidden) for a specific list. Again sorry about such a generic solution. I hope this gives you some ideas on what you might look into for solving your problem.

        Thank you! That gets my juices flowing for some different options for me to try! I may respond more at a later time, I won't be working on this until next week as I am traveling in the short period. But I did want to respond to you. Thanks again.
