InfoPath Dev

Hello,

I need some help please.  I have created an InfoPath 2007 form and published it to a SharePoint 2007 site as a Shared Libarary Template.  When I went to see if the form worked on some of the users computers, it works on some users machines, and unfortunately on some users machines it didn't work.  The two most common errors I am getting are (1) Unspecified error and (2) The Following file is either missing or not part of the form template. 

For both error messages, the error is occurring when the user clicks on "New" within the Shared Documents Library.  The form downloads to the users computer and starts to open.  While opening, the error message appears.

For the "Unspecified error" error message, I have discovered that if I put the file somewhere in a shared file directory on our network, the users can open the file without issue.  The error only occurs when they try to access the file with SharePoint.

For the Missing File issue, when the users open the file from the SharePoint, it is indicating it is missing a .dll.  When I had the user try and access the file on a shared directory on our network, the users get the following error message.  "InfoPath cannot build the Visual Basic or C# code.  The Visual Basic or C# project for this form template cannot be found."

 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi -

It almost sounds as if the form was not published correctly. As to the message about building the code - are you opening in preview? Or just double clicking the published template to open?

Hello Hilary,

First of all, let me start out by saying that it is exciting to have you help out.  In learning InfoPath over the 6 months, I have referenced your posts time and time again to help me in designing my forms.  What I have discovered in the last day while trying to trouble shoot this issue is the following:

You are publishing it to a form library, correct?

Sounds like a machine issue - if the users log onto a machine where the forms work for you, do they work correctly?

I was publishing the form to a Document Library (rookie mistake) but have switched to a Form Library.  Unfortunately I am still getting an error.

I had one of the users that were not working to log onto a machine that works.....the form works for them so it is isolated to the users machine.

So after a lot of trouble shooting this issue, I have been able to come up with a solution.  The answer was to go with SharePoint 2010.  We upgraded late last week and was the overall solution.  Regretably, this does not help those users who need to stay with their existing SP2007 set-up.
