Re: "InfoPath cannot open the form"

Yes, I've had to use that one, as well. Sometimes, that still doesn't seem to do the trick and I have to republish the template, and then re-extract the source files before it will work. Also, double-clicking the manifest file can sometimes trigger the template update (the "keep form on your computer" vs "replace form on your computer" question).

Glad you found a solution!

Hi,

Nice hint but I didn't found any extra information about my problem, however I found the solution.

"Clear infopatch cache" -> Start -> Run and type Infopath /cache clearall

Apparently this problem was caused because I was trying to work on the form on two different machines.

At work push the code to source control and at home retrieve it to my desktop.

thanks for a help anyway

Tomasz!

Hi tomasz,

This one sounds all too familiar.

Try this first: close Visual Studio and open the manifest in design mode (right click on the file). Try to preview the form from there. Sometimes that will give you a more detailed error message, say, if one of the components or required files is missing.

To clarify a little bit. I'm talking here about infopath 2007 with latest updates on vista.

"InfoPath cannot open the form"

Hi,

"InfoPath cannot open the form" - does it sound familiar for anybody ? I just can't run with and without debugging mode under visual studio 2008.

It worked fine like 2 days ago. I haven't made any changes to the form code which could produce this behavior, so I don't know what is going on.

Whenever I publish the form (to SP library) then it works fine, no error. I checked the 'design tasks' and there are no errors.

What to do, where to look for extra informations, how to solve it ? I have to admit that this error message is super frustrating :/

thanks,

tomasz
