Hello,

2) Does anyone know what steps I need to take to remove full trust based on the above? My ultimate goal is to be able to edit the template and save the changes to the SP doc library where it's located.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your prompt reply!

I would be happy to remove full trust if it makes my life a lot easier! What simple changes can I make to remove the Full Trust? What do I lose, if anything, when removing it? Will users be able to edit the form (not what we want!)? Will I be able to edit the form using steps (3) and (4)?

Rick

Hi Rick and welcome,

First off, whenever you've got a full trust form, nothing is "simple". We highly recommend people do away with Full Trust. There are very few good reasons for using it. Most of the time, simple changes can be made to remove the requirement. That will save you a lot of headache since you won't have to admin deploy and you won't have to digitally sign the form.

Secondly, it sounds like you did get the XSN downloaded in step 9. Good job! I was going to recommend that for step 8. If the URL for the Windows SharePoint Services is not in your local intranet domain (check IE8 security settings and add it if it's not there) that could be causing the error you see with step 7 and/or step 9.

Qdabra offers pay-as-you go support (http://www.qdabra.com/webstore/p/43/pay-as-you-go-support) and we have SharePoint and InfoPath experts that would be happy to look at your issue. Let us know if we can help.

Good luck!

Error when editing an InfoPath 2007 form/template from secured 2007 Sharepoint Site

I am trying to edit an InfoPath 2007 template that resides on a Sharepoint 2007 document library using IE 8. This template is used to add and edit list items. Following is a brief descripton of what I'm trying to do:

1) Go to Central Admin| Application Management | Manage Form Templates
2) Click on the dropdown for the template and select "View Properties"

   a) Trust Level = Full Trust
   b) Digitally signed = No
   c) Contains business logic = Yes

3) Go to the document library in my SECURED Sharepoint Site and locate my template

4) Click on dropdown and select "Edit in Microsoft Office InfoPath"

5) Asks me to login to the Sharepoint site

6) Get a warning that asks me if I'm sure I want to open the form; I say yes

7) I get the following error message

Form template: <name of template>.xsn
The form template is trying to access files and settings on your computer. InfoPath cannot grant access to these files and settings because the form template is not fully trusted. For a form to run with full trust, it must be installed or digitally signed with a certificate.

8) I have Googled this error and have received some comments from various sites (including yours) and I have the following comments:
   a) I don't understand why the error message says that it's not fully trusted when it is! (see above)
   b) Many of the help sites say change this, change that on the template, BUT I can't make ANY changes to the template because I'm not able to open it!
   c) I was not the original designer of the template nor of the site and he has since left the company

d) InfoPath 2007 AND 2010 are installed on my local machine. This is because I want to use Office 2010 for future development. I can uninstall and then reinstall Office 2010 if I have to.

9) I have successfully downloaded and opened a copy of the template to see the various fields and settings. I tried publishing this version but I get the following error message:

the following web server does not appear to be running windows sharepoint services <web server url>

10) I am so frustrated with this seemingly simple task. How will I be able to make changes to this template?
