I have searched far and wide, but i just cant work this on out.

My senario is that i have a web enabled infopath form that is intergrate with K2. The process is kicked off by another workflow with an IPCevent when an item is created in a sharepoint forms library.

I am trying to surface a the WorkflowID of the k2 procss - via the sharepoint list column - so i can use this and other information in a webpart to create links and do other stuff. Initally i set out to acheive this at the IPCEvent (sharepoint events ingration process syncronously kicking off a infopath itegration process), mapping the newly created list item ID to a data feild in the child process. I would then use this listitem id to feed the sharepoint list smartobject and update the appropriote column from the child workflow. Apparently there is a bug which means the item id  for a forms library is always 0.. I got this information from another thread.

Try number two... I decided using the InfoPath form to surface certain datasource fields as forms library columns is a basic task and should be reliable. The aim is to update these surfaced fields throughout my workflow as users make descions - which should be simple right? Well, its just not working for me. I find the appropriote XML and put in data event to update them with other fields or even plain text. Nothing works. The fields are never updated and i have verified this by examining the xml.

I guess my question is - is what i am doing acheiveable. Am i going about this problem in the right way, and what can i do to make work?

At one stage i was receiving an error "The source XMLField:(filename), does not exist or is not initilized." I think i resolved this by putting in a default value for the datasource field in InfoPath. I dont see why i needed to, but its the only thing i changed. Now my workflow advances past the data assignment stages onto an infopath client even, but still no fields are updated. No errors, nothing for me to work with.

 I am currently developing on the K2pointtrainv1.1 VPC (august) until we are able to establish our K2 environment....
