title: sharepoint 2010 infopath custom code button hidden
body: <p>I've been giving a really fun task at work, 
  I need to create a SharePoint app or some sort of list on sharepoint, where someone can nominee people from the company to win some sort of recognition then this will go out to a group of people that will approve if they "deserve the recognition".
  this project was being work by a guy that left the company last Friday so basically I have a week to do something about it and I don't really know a lot about SharePoint.</p>
  
  <p>I've done my research, and at first I went straight to the technical point of view where I would  just basically code a connection to database, design the interface etc... but  sharepoint has a really friendly user interface, uh, so friendly that sometimes I feel like I'm not capable of controlling it.</p>
  
  <p>I was assigned a "technical" resource, this person supports SharePoint in the company however she doesn't have experience of creating custom applications or what else.</p>
  
  <p>she teach me how to create a list and editing a form, adding columns to it. A easy way of doing it btw, the fields were connected to the internal database in the company so basically I didn't have to do anything technical at that point.</p>
  
  <p>but then it came the complications/limitations for example I wasn't able to auto-fill information let's say if I would search the name of a person I would want to fill his last name, phone number organization automatically, I would also like to nominee more than 1 people for a single project.</p>
  
  <p>I found out that you're able to open the form in InfoPath so I did it and then I was looking for developer tap option but it just disappear every time I open up the form.</p>
  
  <p>I was also expecting for a tree view or a binding view of the internal database where some controls were connected but I wasn't able to find anything.</p>
  
  <p>I can only use the SharePoint that's already up on the intranet of the company, I don't have access to databases, therefore I can't connect to them "directly" let's say from VStudio to map data back and forth.</p>
  
  <p>I understand this may not be a very technical question this more of an advice to a fellow developer I develop generally for android.</p>
  
  <p>is there a way of just going around this issue? </p>
  
  <p>thanks and I appreciate whoever reads this.</p>
