Submitting Rich Text from an Infopath form to a Sharepoint list

by S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton

While you can promote fields of an InfoPath form and then use a SharePoint Designer workflow to add information from a filled-out InfoPath form to a SharePoint list (see Automatically add a new item to a SharePoint list using InfoPath 2007 and a custom workflow), you will lose all formatting on Rich Text fields in the InfoPath form as soon as you promote these fields.

Luckily, you can use the Lists web service of WSS to submit an item that contains Rich Text from an InfoPath form to a SharePoint list without losing the Rich Text formatting. I show you how to do this in Programmatically add an item with a Rich Text field to a SharePoint list using InfoPath 2007.
