Re: An error occurred while the form was being submitted.

I had the same issue. My problem was that I had changed the name of my form library and my submission datasource was no longer submitting to the correct form library name. I found this by trying to submit the form via the Infopath client and this gave me a little more detail about the error that allowed me to find the problem.

I hope this helps someone else.

I have the same error.

I have a 2 stage workflow here is my scenario:

1- Submitter opens a form and fills out a three texbox and submits the form for the approval (initiates a workflow)
2- Approver opens the form and just approves or rejects the form. After this step (regardless of approval or reject) the form is recorded on an SP Library.

I use the browser (internet explorer 7.0) all the time not infopath.

My problem is on submitting the forms.

The toolbar should not appear on the page. Instead, I created buttons on the form for submission. Initial submitter submits the form without any problem. When it comes to the aprrover, the page is opened ok, but when the approver clicks on the approve or the reject buttons I created on the page it gives me an error: “Some rules were not applied. An error occurred while the form was being submitted.”

I changed many configurations but neither of them worked fine.

In the approval stage my customized buttons have three rules on each.

•   First updates a dataSection on the form. (This data section is the task action field where the action name is located)
•   Then submits the form. (To the same web Service as the initial submitter submits)
•   And then closes the form.

When I press the Submit button on the toolbar (although it should not appearon the page, I made it appear for test purposes), it works fine but the customized buttons does not work at all.

Any Ideas?

Hi,

I am new to Infopath forms. I have developed a small ticketing system and published to sharepoint site. I didn't get any errors while publishing as a browser enabled form. I didn't get any problem while filling and submitting the form but it giving problem when other users in the company trying to submit the form. It is opening fine but getting problem while submitting only.

Error Message:

Some rules were not applied.

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 error occurred while the form was being submitted.

Thanks in advance
