Re: Multi-view form will not web-enable

1) That's confusing, because I was able to publish the form with that huge email view after removing the other views. I figured it was based mainly off the # of data validation warnings, but if you still can't publish easily after changing those settings, then maybe it simply is a case of the overall file is too large (not file size, but file and logic complexity).

2) So even with the submit-to-email button being on the email view, it still gives an error? Send me the new template if you want...

Yes, changing the data validation makes the survey much faster online. However, it did nothing for publishing - the only thing that corrected the publishing was reducing the items in the email view.

Submit to Email - Nope.

Did changing all those data validation fields to "never" do anything, or did it still have trouble publishing?

Is that last part working (submit to email DC), or do you still need to get it resolved?

I've given up on the idea of being able to email the entire completed document. As Mr Cobb discovered it's too large. So, I've narrowed the view down to just some basic information to let the person know they need to go to the SharePoint site and find the details. I have set the view option on each view, that they need to see, and that allows them to easily change to the view they need via the InfoPath toolbar that I have display at the top of each form. Not the best solution, but it's my only choice at this time.

Now that I have a 'reduced' email view setup, that publishes and brower enables, a new problem has arose. In the submit button, I can submit the form to the SharePoint site - no problem. When I try to submit the email view to an email data connection I get 'An error occurred submitting this form to the Web server'. I have removed the email data connection and created it again. I have double/triple checked the email address. I have read about the problem of changing to a view and trying to email all within the submit button. So, on the last page of the survey, I have a next button that changes to the email view where I placed the submit button at the top of the view.

Are you still willing to take a look at my form to determine the cause of it not web-enabling? I'm still having problems.

I believe the problem is the developement site. However, I've tried to publish it on live site (before I changed the security to domain) and it did not work.

Glad it works. This means that there is probably something wrong with the Development SharePoint site and not with your InfoPath form.

While I've been waiting for the tech to respond, I thought I'd try to publish my form to my live site - I was informed to use the 'developement' site until my form works.... SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Could you send me the form if you don't mind, I will try to publish it here and see if I get the same errors.

Performed steps 1 - 5 - no difference.

Re: Multi-view form will not web-enable

jdhelle — Fri, 29 May 2009 14:16:16 GMT

This will take just a little bit. There SharePoint servers are in another state and I have to wait for one of the tech's to respond.

Can you confirm this?

Also, set the level of security of the InfoPath form to "Domain", This can be done by following the following steps:

[1] On the menu, go to Tools > Form Options
[2] On the Form Options dialog box , click on the Security and Trust category
[3] Uncheck the Automatically determine security level (recommended) checkbox
[4] Select the Domain level security and press OK
[5] Publish and test the form

1 & 2 - When it publishes successfully, the publishing wizzard says "Your form template was published successfully.".

When it does not, 'the form template could not be vrowser-enabled, but is was successfully published for use with Microsoft Office InfoPath." When you select close from the publishing wizzard, it trys "connecting to server' then I get 'InfoPath either cannot connect to the data source or the service has timed out.".

3. No

4. Yes

5. Yes

6. No

Hi Jeff,

I have a couple of questions:

[1] What do you exactly mean by: is and is not web-enabled?
[2] Do you get errors during the publishing process in the InfoPath client or does the form not open in the browser?
[3] Did you configure the level of security of the form?
[4] Did you check the Display as web page checkbox in the SharePoint Library settings you are publishing to ?
[5] Did you check the Design a form template that can be opened in a browser or InfoPath checkbox in the InfoPath client?
[6] Does you form contain code?
