InfoPath Dev

I have an IP 2010 browser form with custom save button. I have set the library to require items to be checked out. If the user opens the form, and can make changes and save the form. The changes are not saved, but the user doesn't know this. Is there a setting I missed or some kind of check that can be done that disable save until checked out?

Yes, you can call the query the SharePoint web service to see if it's checked out or not and if it isn't you can check it out yourself.

I'm attaching a checkin/checkout XTP we did. This works in the browser. You'll have to read through the instructions, but you should be able to get it going.

To use the XTP, go to Add Custom Controls and browse to it. Then select it and drag it into your view. You'll have to follow instructions to configure it.

Good luck!

Patrick,

thanks for the prompt response. I cant download the file. can you maybe retry uploading it or zipping it up?

Hi jaxkookie,

For some mysterious reason, the download link is unavailable. Apologies for that. Please use the file I'm attaching instead, and add the XTP to your Custom Controls. Hopefully it should work for the browser form you are working on.

Thanks!

 Thanks all for the help. Now I believe I have it all setup correctly, but I am getting an error on formload

The following query failed: CheckOutFile (User: DOMAIN\larry.pfaff, Form Name: ChemicalMaterialRequest, IP: , Connection Target: , Request: http://SPSERVER/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/sites/CustomerPortal/BKI/projects/ChemicalMaterialRequest/3-_Sodium_carbonate-2013-04-15T09_31_07.xml&Source=http://SPSERVER/sites/CustomerPortal/BKI/projects/ChemicalMaterialRequest/Forms/AllItems.aspx&DefaultItemOpen=1, Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:ChemicalMaterialRequest:-myXSD-2012-09-27T16-39-32 Type: DataAdapterException, Exception Message: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.  Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.  Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.

When I update the Web Service Data Connection I have tried several URLs. This is my library URL

http://SPSERVER/sites/CustomerPortal/BKI/projects/ChemicalMaterialRequest/

 

These are the URL I have tried:

http://SPSERVER/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL

http://SPSERVER/sites/CustomerPortal/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL

http://SPSERVER/sites/CustomerPortal/BKI/projects/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx?WSDL

 

AM I missing something?

Hi Larry,

Should be fine with the first URL.

Wanna do a quick online meeting? Can you email me?

 yes absolutely, let me know where to contact you at

Just click Contact button. :)

 hey again, did I lose. I click contact, sent 2 message, one with screen share information. did you get it?

Hi Larry,

Thanks for your time today and for your help finding at least one issue with the CheckinOutXTP - the fact that it doesn't correctly set the publishUrl for content types.

The call to check out the file is failing due to authorization issues (per your error log). My best guess right now is that it's because you have a full trust admin-deployed form.

We will check your scenario here and see if we can repro.

If you can try the XTP with a simpler form that would be useful information, and we'd be happy to comp you a copy of DBXL Basic Web service in exchange for your time.

Thanks again,

Patrick, Thank you for your time, especially on a friday afternoon. I am out of the office until monday, but if you can wait i will place the control in a dry form and shoot you the results. I am not giving up on this quite yet. I am determined to make it work. Have a great weekend.
