Thanks, folks

You got that error figured out on MSDN, right? Does everything open fine in the browser now?

Hi,

I've got MOSS Enterprise and Forms Services all running.

I've manage to get the form to open (almost) in the broswer now using some parameters to the URL http://Server/Site/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=http://server/site/library/form.xml&OpenIn=Browser

However now - I get an error when it opens:

There has been an error while processing the form.

Click Continue to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.

Click Start Over to load a new copy of the form.

An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.

Log ID:5337

I can click continue and the form opens and the functions work.

any idea why this would be?

The form uses a simple C# code in it, I've published and uploaded it via central admin, i have also created a dataconnection (following: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointinfopath/thread/b06ef9b9-9a7c-46bf-befd-4ab53bedb637?prof=required)

and to no sucsess, still getting the error.

Thanks, Iri

Cheers

Our FormsViewer viewer supports viewing forms in SharePoint or outside of SharePoint. However, submit is severely limited at this time and while we support rich text and image viewing, there are many restrictions.

Yes, that's the whole point of browser-enabled forms. It's a function only of InfoPath 2007, and it requires MOSS Enterprise (includes Forms Services) or MOSS Standard plus Forms Server (separately-installed product). It's most typical for organizations to use MOSS Enterprise for full browser-enabled forms integration.

That is the only way to do it with SharePoint. The only other method for browser-enabling that I know if is built by the folks who run this forum - Qdabra.com.

If your forms are not browser-enabled, then each user must have IP07.

Hi Folks,

I've got a form set up that gets submitted to a form library.

the library then has a workflow to email the link to the form to the correct person.

however the link is form.xml - and it asks for InfoPath to be installed.

They need to open the form to be able to click a button which in turn starts another workflow in the library depending on the button they press.

Is there anyway to force this .xml to open in a browser?

Thanks, Iri
