Re: Saving form to virtual directory

dr00bie — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:26:30 GMT

I was told that if I wanted the submitted form to be saved in a folder, then I would have to use the Sharepoint Library. I am really, really new to Infopath, but I do come from a ASP/SQL Server background, so I am not completely ignorant of the technologies. We do not have a Sharepoint Server to submit to, only a webserver.

If I am going about this the wrong way, then what is the right way? How can I get my form to be saved onto a folder on the network when it is submitted?

Thanks,
Drew

Hi dr00bie,

Welcome to our forums!

Since you chose to submit to a SharePoint library, may I ask why are you saving the form in a folder and not in the actual SharePoint library?

We have a Submit button on the form with the following Form Action Parameters,

Enable Submit commands and buttons is enabled

Submit To: SharePoint form library
Data Connection for submit: Main submit 3 (the above screenshot)

Thanks,
Drew

Hello Welcome to the Forums,

How you are going to save the form to that folder using File -> Save or did you write any code to submit the form to that folder?

If you are getting the error using File -> Save then that is you don't have permission to that folder.

Can you give more detail how you are saving the form?

We have a form that has the following data connection,

http://www.swvtc.dmhmrsas.virginia.gov/infopath_screenshot.jpg

The http://swvtc06/Purchasing/ link is not a Sharepoint, it is just a regular folder. We are having difficulty getting the forms to be saved in that folder, it gives the user a "HTTP 403 - You are not authorized to view this page" error, although the user has Read/Write/Modify permissions to the folder.

What am I missing here?

Thanks,
Drew
