InfoPath Dev

When I publish a form from Infopath directly to a Forms Library on my site collection, it either opens in Infopath or I get the following error when launching it from the server:

This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.

I see countless posts on how to fix it when googling, but I have already done everything they suggest:

• Enabled "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser" in the "Publish..." dialog in Infopath.
  
• Enabled "Design a form template that can be opened in a browser or Infopath" in the "Form Options > Compatibility" in Infopath.
  
• Chosen "Full Trust" and digitally signed the form template using "Create Certificate" in "Form Options > Security and Trust" in Infopath.
  
• Chosen "Display as Web page" and enabled "Allow management of content types" in "Settings > Document Library Settings > Advanced Settings" in the Forms Library on the site.
  
• Activated "Support for Infopath Forms Services" in "Site Actions > Site Settings > Features in Site Collection" on the site.
  
• Activated "Allow users to browser-enable form templates" and "Render form templates that are browser-enabled by users" in Central Administration.

If I on the other hand publish the form to a file, and upload and activate it to the site collection in Central Administration, I get the following error when launching it from the server:

An error occurred accessing a data source

In both cases, what is missing and what am I doing wrong?

Hi Miceagol and welcome,

If you have access to the sharepoint logs, see if you can find more details about the error there. Otherwise what might also help is to save to form template to another file and publish the new file to the forms library.

Kind Regards,

Thank you for your help. I solved at least the last error

An error occurred accessing a data source

by looking at the error log, which was simply that I forgot to include the domain of the data source in the hosts file of c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc. The first error remains, though, and the entry in the log file connected to it does not make me wizer:

05/14/2009 10:32:09.56 w3wp.exe (0x0C50) 0x0A9C Forms Server Forms Services Runtime 0 Medium Regenerating object: ProcessId:[1] CacheId: IpfsSolution::meta:I:d6b27891-73e5-4a08-a668-9a4c36db7f9d:fa271083-dd72-409a-a5d7-de12f1f91ddf:633778865240000000

Any suggestions as to what this may indicate? It seems like I have to administrator approve the form template through Central Administration in order for it to be browser enabled. This is a little sad, because then I can not use the functions like version control and publishing the form to Sharepoint Server directly from Infopath. I'm sure it must be a setting that I'm missing. Any clues to what setting it may be?

Hi

Look at the below links

Well, I do have managed code, so the last link is not relevant to me. So it's basically not possible to upload a form template directly to the Site Collection when it contains code? The first link explains how to enable the user to create a new form using the template, but the form I'm creating sends and receives data through a data source, so there is never a need for saving the completed form locally on the server. What I want is to be able to easily update the form on the Forms server and use version control, and to avoid having to go through Central Administration each time I have an update.
