    Data Connection issue - Office 365

    Hi all, I've created a new infopath form to be used by a customer on Office 365. It contains data from three sharepoint lists and numerous lookups to other lists. The form is now working perfectly when working with infopath filler, but when I try to open a new form I get an extremley (un)helpful error message from sharepoint with a correlation id. When I click ok to close the error message my form gets rendered but none of the lookup (dropdowns) fields contain their data. I can click 'add document' in IE and it opens infopath filler, all lookup lists are available and I can submit/update the data to the sharepoint lists and save the form to the form library as expected. I can also reopen the form in filler again and all data is available. When I open the same form in the browser, I get the same error message as before, clicking ok to close the error message brings up the form, but all lookup fields now contain the lookup id's. not the list item. I know (and have checked) that all secondary data connections need to 'Automatically retrieve data when form is opened'. So I'm a bit lost. Thanks in advance. MartyNZ

    Hi MartyNZ,

    Microsoft broke the O365 sandbox for many sites last Thursday. They're actively working on a fix. If your form uses code (ala qRules), this may explain why it doesn't work in the browser.

    If it doesn't use code, then I'm not sure why this isn't working. O365 has changed a lot and it has been a very very rough ride with bugs and breaks left and right. Things stabilized in May and it was smooth sailing for two months until last week. Not sure what to do here, but Microsoft did fix all of the O365 issues from November's abominable upgrade so one would expect this update gets fixed too (if that's the cause of your problem).

     Are you using UDCX files for your browser forms?
