Launching an InfoPath form with parameters from a URL - a gotcha…

Well, I think the title of this post may be longer than the post itself!

Anyway, I was tearing my hair out over an issue I was having with parameters that was being used to launch an InfoPath form. The parameter was simple, of the form managerID=5 (or some other number.

No matter what I did, my code did not find the parameter. So, I did some Googlin’.

And here’s what I discovered: http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/hilary/default.aspx?PageIndex=2

Read it. Then read it again.

LOWERCASE!!!

All my parameter keys and associated values magically transform to LOWERCASE on the way to the form.

(see what I did there?)

My forehead hurts. I hope my desk is okay…
