    Problem: Moving InfoPath Web Form from One SP Environment to Another - Opens in Client vs Web

    I've got an InfoPath web form that I'm trying to move from one SP site to another and it keeps trying to open in the client vs the web browser.  I've removed all the data connections, run the design checker...no problems...just a couple of warnings.  The InfoPath form is on my local machine and I've changed the publish URL, but alas...no luck.

    Moving from example:  www.contoso.com

    Moving to example: www.hotpocket.com  

     Any help would be most appreciated!

     Thanks,

    Daren

    Hi Daren_D,

    Is it a SharePoint List or a SharePoint Form Library form?

    You will have difficulties attempting to move a List form (although it can be done!)

    If you are attempting to move a Form Library form then you will have to do a full publish of the form, by selecting File, Publish, Publish form to a SharePoint Library and then following the prompts.

    Cheers

     Hi RaYva,

          Yes it's an InfoPath Form Library and I have done a complete republish using the new locations URL and while it will publish there it only opens in the client instead of in the browser.  Very odd behavior.

     

    Thanks,

    D

     Did you look at Library Settings; Advanced Settings; Opening Document in the Browser? Set it to Open in the browser NOT Use the server default

    Also, was the form published there before to the same/different library ?

    Yep, I've done all the usual trouble shooting checklist items but no luck. That's why I'm not sure what's going on.

    - Removed promoted fields

    - Removed data connections

    - Removed all On Load rules

    - Removed all rules

    - Checked SP site & library settings
