By default, when a user clicks on Submit/Cancel button, the InfoPath list form redirects to the AllItems.aspx page of the list. Instead of redirecting the user to the default view of list, to redirect it to the desired page, append the URL of the InfoPath form with &Source=redirect-url http://xyzportal/..../xyzform.xsn&DefaultItemOpen=1 &Source=redirect-url Also, make sure that in the button properties, in the "Browser Forms" tab, "Always" option is selected.

In Infopath forms, we can set the height of a multi-line column to be fixed or dynamic. In case if the height is fixed(which is the deafult option), if there are more number of lines than that can be accomodated, a scroll would appear on the text box. This reduces the readability of the content for the user. To rectify the issue,the height can be set as auto(i.e., height would vary depending on the content) or a constant fixed value as per the requirement. Follow the below given steps to do the same. • Open the edit form in InfoPath designer. • Select the multiline column and then Right click on Text Box Properties. • In the properties window that opens, click on the Tab Size. • To set the height as auto, click on the align button available at the end • To make the height to be fixed, make the changes in the Size section for the height property . • Click OK to save the changes and then save and publish the form for the changes to be visible to the user.
