Re: Link to InfoPath form inside Outlook email message is getting truncated

Hello Shiva and thank you for the response.

I am not doing any modifications to the link when I copy it and paste it into IE. It's just copy, paste, go and it works in that manner. If the I click on the link directly inside the email, it gives me the InfoPath-Forms Services error.

The link itself is of the form:

http://servername.com/sites/Directory/Directory/FormLibryar/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/sites/Directory/Directory/FormLibrary/FormTemplateName/FormName.xml

The truncation is occurring at sites/Directory/Directory/FormLibrary/FormTemplateName/FormName.xml, and specifically in the middle of FormName.xml.

Thanks again

Hello Welcome to the Forums,

After copying the link to Internet Explorer, are doing any modification to open that link? If you are able to open that link via in Internet Explorer without modification then that link url is correct. I am assuming that your url append with "http" and end with ".xml".

Link to InfoPath form inside Outlook email message is getting truncated

Hello all,

We have one specific user who is having trouble accessing a form.

Here's the setup:

An InfoPath 2003 form template stored in a form library on SharePoint is accessed from a link that is sent in an email. The email is being accessed in Outlook 2003. For everyone else, the link works fine, but when this user opens from the email an InfoPath-Forms Services error is thrown in Internet Explorer. The error reads:

The following file is not a valid InfoPath form: /sites/NameOfSite/NameOfDir/FormLibraryName/NameOfForm (I changed the names if couldn't tell :)

Anyway, on the NameOfForm part is where it is getting truncated. There are no spaces in the word that gets truncated.

Permissions in SharePoint and all of the data sources that the forms use are set properly and the user has SP3 for InfoPath 2003 and .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0.

Finally, if the user manually copies the link and pastes it into Internet Explorer, it works fine.

Again this is the only user that is having this problem. I'm thinking it could be a setting that I just don't know about in Outlook but I can't begin to think of what it would be.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot
