    Unable to Publish to Form Templates Folder

    Hello All, I'm new to InfoPath 2010 and SharePoint 2010 development as a whole, so I'm hoping someone may be able to provide some guidance. I'm following along in the book titled "Using Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step". One of the exercises has me publishing a content type form template to the Form Templates folder of my local SharePoint site. I am the administrator with full control rights, however, I am unable to reach my SharePoint instance when I click "Browse". I appreciate any insight as to why this is the case. Thank you...

    Do you get an invalid URL message when you type in the url to the library?  If so maybe this will help: I use IP 2007 and I don't know if this is the same problem but once, when I was NOT able to publish a form via the InfoPath publishing wizard (error was invalid URL even though it was valid). Once I cleared the registry cache I was able to publish again.  In our case we had migrated from one server to the next....so just something to consider if it ever happens to you.

    Doreen, To clarify for you and anyone else, when clicking the browse button in the Publishing Wizard, it opens up to a local directory. The screenshot in the book has it opening a SharePoint location with a list of links entitled "All Site Content". Form Templates being one of those links. When I manually type the URL of the SharePoint site into the browse dialog, I get a message: "You can't open this location using this program. Please try a different location." I understand I can probably upload the template manually through the Central Admin page, which I will try now, but when something doesn't work as in the example I have to question whether I have a configuration setting wrong or something similar. Thanks again.
