Has anyone had success in receiving a specific record from a Sharepoint Form Library that was created using InfoPath and been able to select specific fields from that specific record and bring those back into a new InfoPath form? Basically I'm creating two lists that are Form Lirbarys and then need to display certain pieces of that information from those two lists back in a third InfoPath form. Using just Sharepoint Lists would be easier but I need the editing and formatting power of InfoPath to both build the lists and the final form output.

I found a way to do it which uses Sharepoint Web Services that uses some C# code but I am no C# guru so I am having a very hard time with it.

Thanks!!
 
If you promote the correct fields from the forms to be metadata in the form library, you should be able to work with it just as you would with a regular list.
What problems are you having specifically? Any error codes?
