  I'm trying to get a form to open to a specific tab based on url parameters, to no avail.  It seems you cannot chage a form in the formload event.  Is there a formloaded event?

  Correction to the text from my comment should read "... It seems you cannot switch to a View in the formload event..."

  Hi Bob_Chauvin, If you want to switch views in the form "Loading" event, you need to use the "LoadingEventArgs" like this: e.SetDefaultView("YourViewName"); The "SwitchView" method is used, say, on the Click event of a button. Scott

  Hi Bob, We also have a new DefaultView query parameter in InfoPath 2010. DefaultView=viewname e.g. http://ipfsdog14/sites/ipfs/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/sites/ipfs/lhtemp/asdsadasd.xml?OpenIn=Browser&DefaultView=view2 Laura

  Scott and Laura, Thanks for your assist.  The e.SetDefaultView("YourViewName"); seems to work as expected in the full client.  Will these approaches work for browser forms as well?

  Hi Bob, Yes - these will work in the browser. Scott

  This looks like a bug that was in the pre-release 64 bit builds of InfoPath 2010, and which was fixed in the final released product.

  The version of VSTA is correct. The known bug is fixed in the final build of Office 2010. Do you experience this issue on other machines? What about if you create a new InfoPath form and VSTA project?

  Any word on creating an Infopath 2010 forum on MSDN?

  InfoPath 2010 questions should be directed to the "SharePoint 2010 - Using SharePoint Designer, Infopath, and other customization" forum: social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../threads
