InfoPath Dev

Hi there,

 I wonder if anyone has came accross this problem before.  There's a user in my dept who is complaining that an infopath form that he has opened from a sharepoint library is read only. No one else has had this problem.

 Does anyone know what some of the reasons could be for this happening?

 Thanks

Hello,

Form will open in read only by following reasons,

1. If someone opens that form then another user will get open in read only.

2. If that form in cache without closing (whenever crash) that form then it will open in read only.

3. If you have any User Roles in your form then this user is not belongs to edit mode then form will open in read only.

4. You have to check in onLoad code and which view you want shift by default.

 Hi Shiva, thanks for replying.

The exact message is

The form cannot be filled out, either because you do not have adequate permissions, another user has the form open, or the form is open in another program.

I take it your options still apply to this?  I can rule out the first. I don't think the fourth applies. Number 2, maybe that's a possibility. Do you know what I could do in regards to this?

And, number 3, I don't think this is the case as he has the same permissions as other people who can use the form.

Hope you can help.

Hello,

Have you tried adding the url to the trusted sites within IE?

I could be wrong, but from your description this sounds like it might be a trust issue & Internet Explorer

One thing to be careful of is that adding to Trusted sites will disable managed code from working. Try first adding to Intranet Sites and setting security level there just to be on the safer side.

I think the forms are already added to trusted sites from the previous developer.  Also, it's only one person that's having the problem and it's group policy so I'd imagine there would be no difference to his settings than anyone elses.

 Maybe files on his computer are corrupt?

 Thanks

Any update on this issue?  I have similar issue with just one user where everyone else works fine.
