InfoPath Dev

We are using Windows 2003 Enterprise server, with InfoPath forms services. It is a Vacation Approval Request InfoPath form. The form pre-populates their profile information from AD. The form populates the data when opened in InfoPath client but not when the same form is opened by users from their local browser. 

 We are using simple GetUserByProfile and GetCommonManager webservice and it doesn't work.

 Anyone has seen this, what am I missing.

 Thanks

Are you getting a 5566 data access error when opening it, or do you just see no data?

 Are there any rules firing up on form load?

5566 data access error

Hi Paresh,

No there are no rules.

Thanks

This is a common error when using this web service, especially in browser forms.  One thing to know is that leveraging a web service in a browser form is essentially a double-hop of credentials.  It's only one-hop when using the rich client.

Since the error doesn't give specifics, you have to check several things.  First off, go check to see if the IIS site for the SharePoint site where the form resides is not set to Allow Anonymous Access.  Another quick test would be to ensure that your machine has not had any network hiccups, so at least be sure you've done a reboot before testing.
