Can I put a Rule on a Run Query Button?

Meg

I have a Run Query Button in InfoPath, but I can't find anywhere that I can
add a rule to it. Can it be done and if so, how?

Thanks,

Please try to replace the Query Button with a common button, add the rule to
it, at last add a "Query using a data connection" action to the rule.

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe you could clear the fields in "Set a field's
value" action one by one...

Thanks, I did try that but it still never gave me the results I wanted.
Maybe someone else out their knows.

It did clear the fields but, I have 2 views 1 is for data entry and 1 is for
search and edit. When I search for a record by name I get all the records
for that person which I want but when I want to complete a new record I
switch to the Data Entry View and it still has all the search records and I
want 1 blank form for them to enter another record.

Maybe I am asking too much.

Please try to use codes to clear the query field and query result fields, as
the following InfoPath 2003 managed code:
[InfoPathEventHandler(EventType=InfoPathEventType.OnSwitchView)]
public void OnSwitchView(DocEvent e)
{
// Write your code here.
DOMNode idNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes(
"/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/q:Employees/@EmployeeID" );
idNode.nodeValue = ""
if( thisXDocument.View.Name.Equals( "View 1" ) )
{
DOMNodeList nodeList = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes(
"/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Employees" );
foreach( DOMNode node in nodeList )
{
node.parentNode.removeChild(node);
}
}
}

Oh, it should be:
[InfoPathEventHandler(EventType=InfoPathEventType.OnSwitchView)]
public void OnSwitchView(DocEvent e)
{
// Write your code here.
if( thisXDocument.View.Name.Equals( "View 1" ) )
{
DOMNode idNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes(
"/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/q:Employees/@EmployeeID" );
idNode.nodeValue = ""
DOMNodeList nodeList = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes(
"/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Employees" );
foreach( DOMNode node in nodeList )
{
node.parentNode.removeChild(node);
}
}
}

Thank you so much, I have not tried this yet (I am going to try today) but I
believe it is going to work.

I have 1 more question:

After I do the above, I am going to publish my form to another location. I
have already published it to our network drive here in my office. However, I
have mapped to another drive located in another State. I have put an
identical Database on their drive (all the tables are the same except
different employee names)

Can I publish my same form to their location so that when I update my form
here it will update theirs or do I have to save my form on their drive too
and then publish it from there?

A quick response would be greatly appreciated as they are waiting on my form.

Thanks,

MEG

Is there a way to clear the form (make it blank) after running the
Query?
