Calling a web service programmatically from InfoPath

[Chris]

Hi,

I have a form that will submit data to two tables. The relationship between
these two tables are a
one to many.

Table A is the ONE
Table B is the MANY

so what I'm trying to do is submit data to Table A, retrieve the IDENTITY
value, then using that
same identity value and submit to Table B.

I know that I can create a button that will run custom code.

So my question is, can I call a web service programmatically in my custom
code? Not only that but
to get a return value also?

TIA

coson

Yes, you can. Create a 'retreive' data connection for each method, not a
'submit' one, set the fields in the secondary DOM, query, get the results,
etc.

This is explained in more detail in the book below.
