    An error occurred accessing a data source

    So...after my first post several days ago I figured the auto-populate, no the problem is...get this and so many people have it but i have not found the answer

     Ok...

    I published my form to a form library with a data connection to an XML file withing a data connection library on the same site. Everything is located on the same network, same site, same everything pretty much. I still get this error when i attempt to run a query and access the XML file. Work flawlessly in preview mode but not published. Anyone have any ideas? I've been talking to the administrator of the sharepoint server he doesnt know either and he's not familiar with infopath...nor am i.

    We tried converting to the udcx and that didn't work. We're not sure what to do in central admin. PLEASE HELP!! Thanks!!!

    You will need a UDCX for browser forms. Do you have a Data Connection Library? Maybe you don't and that would explain why it failed. If you are using WSS, it doesn't support DCLs. If you have MOSS, you just need to have an admin create the library and then create the UDCX. You're on the right path. Keep persevering.

    the UDCX was created in the DCL. DCL does exist and we're using MOSS....i'm lost...

    Permissions for the XML file?

    Have you tried just including the XML file in the form (not accessing remotely)?

    Full access permissions to the XML...I believe it has something to do with SharePoint only because it works fine in preview mode with the connection the to the DCL. Something needs to be changed in Central Admin just dont know what.

    There are blogs on admin deploying forms. You might check the SharePoint logs for more specific error info.
