Hello... I'm having trouble publishing an IP form into SP2007. The form has 10 views with code behind and somehow complex schema. It works fine when testing the form in Design Mode, but when deploying to SP2007 using Central Admin, I'll get following errors. Very much appreciate any help.

Thank you, Moe

From the error message, I'd guess there is a problem in one of your views with radio button controls.

If this were my form I'd create a backup copy of the form. Then I would start removing the views with radio button controls, one at a time, and trying to admin approve after removing each view - try to narrow down the view with the issue. Are there any controls relying on secondary data sources that no longer exist in the form? Any rules that use secondary data sources no longer in the form? I'd suspect those first, although I have seen other issues cause very strange errors when trying to admin approve.

If you can find the view with the issue (assuming the issue is related to a specific view) you can then start removing controls to narrow down the control set causing the issue.

You should also run the design checker, if you have not already, in InfoPath to see if it will give you any better info.

Thanks very much Hilary for the quick reply. I'm working on your suggestions and let you know. Thanks again. Moe 

Hilary, as you mentioned the issue was related to a radio button. I deleted the radio button in one of the views and recreated it and that fixed the issue. I could deploy it to SP2007 with no problem.

Thanks very much for your help.

Oh, super news, I'm glad you got that sorted.
