Question : Dynamically Create a Sharepoint folder from an Infopath Form

Hi

I'm writing a enquiry entry system in sharepoint 2010 and using infopath 2010 web forms to submit the data.

Once the web form is complete and the submit button is pressed i need a subfolder to be created and named using two variables from the form (ie [enquryref].[jobno]) and a copy of the form saved in the root folder.

I've been advised to create a custom web service to achieve this but i'm unsure how to call the code from the infopath form.

The web service code i have so far is as follows,

Can anyone assist please? I'm new to this type of development.

thanks in advance

Answer : Dynamically Create a Sharepoint folder from an Infopath Form

The "KPI list" should be found when you want to create a list in the "Custom Lists" area.

Here is the link to the MS help site where you will find some useful information about KPIs:

hope this helps
