    data connection

    Hi, I'm new  to Infopath and had run into a problem. Any help is much appreciate!

    I designed a form in Infopath 2007 which will be deployed to Sharepoint 2010. I had everything working in my dev environment, but I had a problem when I move the form to test environment. I need to change all data connection to point to Sharepoint sites on test environment. An error message poped up saying it can not connect to the sites(url). However, I had no problem connect the sites through Sharepoint. Any idea where I should be looking?

    Thanks,

     TC

    If you use UDC data connections with relative URLs, you could just deploy those to your test environment - that may be simplest.

    Otherwise, I often save forms as source files and modify the data connections in the manifest.xsf when I'm moving things around. Of course, you need to save a backup of your template first if you decide to try that. And if your data connections are to lists / libraries, you'll need to get the correct GUIDs for those. Otherwise, you can simply walk through the data connection wizard again for each data connection and repoint it.

    Thanks, Hilary. Good tips to have. It turned out to be system glitch for my problem. It's all good now without having to fix anything. Again, I appreciate your help.
