InfoPath non-editable fields - sharepoint

I've created a simple list in SharePoint 2010. It has a couple of text columns and a couple of integer columns.
I click "Customize Form" from the Sharepoint Ribbon
InfoPath 2010 is launched
I make the form look nice and ensure fields are bound to correct columns
I upload the form back to Sharepoint
When I click to "Add new item" my InfoPath form is displayed. However only one of the field is editable. I can click into the other fields but when I hit the keyboard - nothing!
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rob.
.

The fields in question might have been set to Read-only. Double-check using the following steps:
Use "Customize Form" again from the Sharepoint Ribbon
Right click each Control in question
Click Properties
Click the Display Tab
Ensure that the Read-only checkbox is unticked.

SharePoint 2013 - On clicking of Edit icon, show popup box (or) modal dialog

I have a grid which displays data from the SharePoint list.
On clicking of Edit icon, it should display a popup, where it allows users to edit Expiration date and notes field as per below screenshots.
Once user clicks on save, it should save the data back to SharePoint list and grid.
May I know how it can be achieved in SP2013 visual web part?

Percentage calculation from infopath to sharepoint

I am a newbie in sharepoint/infopath.
I am trying to edit an existing field in sharepoint which seems to be loaded from infopath.
The flow of the program is as follows:
I open a form (which is integrated using infopath) from sharepoint. The form has some multiple choice questions and at the end there is a submit button. After clicking "submit", I am transferred to a list view which displays the "number of correct answers" and "your percentage" columns (I can have multiple attempts and they are displayed in the list).
I am trying to edit the calculations of the percentage. When I open the infopath form, I can see that there is a field called "Your percentage". I displayed the setting and there is no formula.
Where can I edit that field?
Thanks!
Use the button Rule Inspector to check all the rules cotained on the form, the button is located on the data ribbon:
There you can see all the rules, just look up for the one that calculates the percentage.
Hope this helps.

cannot display a button control in infopath form

My problem is that: when In create a form with Infopath 2010 and I add a button control, the button does not appear when I open it in display mode. then I decide to add the button in the ribbon with sharepoint designer 2010 but this button appear only in the default display form. please I need someone help me to solve this problem. I'm new in sharepoint
Thank you
Are you using the stock button control built into InfoPath? If you are not, the button images need to be uploaded and checked in within the SharePoint site. InfoPath forms should display stock buttons out of the box with no trouble.
When using picture buttons, head to the picture button properties and deselect the option that says 'Hide picture button in read-only views'.

"Hidden" columns in Sharepoint 2007

I'm trying to make a custom list for inquiries, where users will fill in some information such as "Name", "Reason" etc. When they've finished filling in the information and added the item, the administrator will then go through the item, and fill in some new columns that the user hasn't been able to fill in.
I hope you understand me, otherwise you're more than welcome to ask questions!
With SharePoint designer 2007, you can use the SPSecurityTrimmedControl who enable you to show/hide form field (or site action...).
Syntax :
<SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl PermissionsString="ManageLists" runat="server">
WHAT_YOU_WANT_TO_HIDE_HERE
</SharePoint:SPSecurityTrimmedControl>
For the PermissionsString, all values HERE
You'll need to use SharePoint Designer. You will create custom new and edit forms. This way when the user fills in the new form, only certain fields will appear. Then when the administrator edits the item using the edit form, they will have access to more fields.
Please see this link for more information.
Try making a copy of the form you wish to edit by copying and pasting to the same folder. Then click on the web part for the form and the code above will highlight . Look for tags IsVisible and change it from "true" to "false". This will hide the default form. Do not delete the original form.
Click on the web part in the design view then press your right arrow. This will move the cursor to right after the web part but still within the web part zone. Go to the Insert menu, select SharePoint Controls then Custom List form. A small dialog window will appear, select the list name from the first drop down, then select the content type from the second drop down. Finally select which form you want to insert, New, Edit or Display. Click OK. The new form will be displayed under the default form, and you will then see all of the fields in order and you can add or remove as you like.
If one did not want to edit the pages, couldn't one use Jquery to hide the fields? I have done this with SPservices. to check the user credentials if you will and then if matched display the hidden fields... all this is done from a web part...just a thought...I actually learned something great today.. great replies.
