    Error when saving form to Form Library !!!

    I create a form library on a SPS site. After a user ( who has "ADD " permission, he can not edit or delete form, just fill out and save the form ) filled out form, he click button Save. Infopath send message " Infopath can not save form ", but the form is actually saved on the form library. This error does not happenned with a user with Administrator permission. Could someone help me ?

    Best reguard,

    Hi Bigcat,
    Does the form do a SharePoint submit or are you using File->Save? Are there any other data connections in the form?

    i am using File -> save to save form to form library. There is no data connection on form. When i grant "edit", and "delete" permission for user, the error does not appear. But i do not want him to edit or delete form.

    Hi again,
    Sorry for delay in replying. This is a SharePoint permissions thing. To save the form, they must have Edit permissions. This is actually a big issue, since users can easily delete forms on SharePoint. One partial solution is to remove the filename column from your default view so that they can't click the dropdown and edit/delete the form. This might help, but to truly lock it down, you'll want to use e-mail submission to a "gatekeeper" who uploads the form, or create an event handler in SharePoint that copies the forms to a special library, or submit to a Web service that has permissions to save the form (but disable the edit/delete from the form library). There are lots of options. Hopefully this gives you some ideas.
