Offline Capability With Edit Form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a form I'm trying to have offline functionality for with "new" and "edit" capabilities. The way this form differentiates itself between new and edit is in the "DefaultMode" function like this 

If(vRevise=false,FormMode.New,FormMode.Edit). 

So far, I have gotten new to work by saving the form to a collection and storing that collection locally. But when I do the same thing when revising, I get a blank entry in the offline collection. I've tried Collect(<form im editing>) and updates(<form im editing>) and nothing saves to my offline collection. I know my syntax must be correct because these steps will work as long as the form is not considered an "edit" form. If you can tell me way to make this work that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    That's exactly what I used. My problem is with the edit form. That method works fine with new form saving, but if I say I have an edit form and try to save my data to a new collection in local data then it just saves blank values. I have to keep the edit form the way it is too, becuase that's the way the program will need to work when its online.
