Hi,

We had the same problem with InfoPath.
After analysis of servers,it turns out thatthe anonymous user authentication has been enabled onthe web application server via IIS and not via SharePoint(unsupported configuration), causingside-effects on some queries whichcalls to forms.

We disabled anonymous access.This desactivation causes the functioning of forms again.

Hi bob,

for granting contribute rights for the site collection, you have to go to that site collections site first and then click on site actions--> site permissions. There you will find NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users (NT AUTHORITY\authenticated users) with read only permission if you have added already it. if it is not there add it by using ribbon and give contribute permission from the permissions list that you will find. if group is already there, click the check box in front of it and click on edit permission on ribbon and give contribute permission.

however, i used one more solution to avoid giving extra permission other than read only. it is by using code. i can help you if you want to know how to do that using code.

Hello Raj,

I think we are in the same boat. http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/22229/77265.aspx#77265

When you said you granted your users contribute rights to the site collection, exactly how did you do that? I can make users admins of the site collection but not sure how to give them just contrib rights to the collection.

Did you ever find a solution? Same thing with me. I (as a site collection admin) work fine using the form and odata queries, but as soon as I allow a standard user to use the form, they get the error. The weird part is that they are able to click on 3 seperate form buttons that call odata queries, but the 4th click renders the error. Same error as yours, and the correlation data from the sharepoint log file is the same.

i checked few senarios and my findings,

1. this issue not happening at change REST URL action. it happens at Query REST Data Connection action.

2. when form loads, data is pulled from REST URL from data connection and able to show in multi select list box by binding.

3. when user first time changes drop down, page refreshes and new selected value is not beeing in dropdown. when user again changes dropdwon, then this error message occures.

----

if there is no solution or fix for this, i would like to know how to use "Query data on SP List" method that you suggested above for fulfilling my requirement.

thank you very very much for your help.

That's interesting - I've not run into that issue before. Are there any additional messages in your SharePoint Logs? Have you tried a web search on your error message?

Hi Hilary,

for the REST method that you suggested for cascading requirement, it fails when normal reader uses the form. Surprisingly, form is loading fine with data that is pulled by REST URL. However, it fails when user changes drop down. where in drop down, i am executing Change REST URL action to repopulate new values in multi select control.

This functionality is working if i give contribute permission for reader user on the site collection. However, i should not give him contribute permission.

Here is the error message that i receive when i tested with reader account..

"MOSS StateService threw an exception: A Microsoft SharePoint Server State Service error occurred while processing your request"

your help is highly appreciated.

Thank you Hilary for your prompt response.

Just want to confirm, if you understood my issue or not.

basically, i am looking for List's relative URL using REST method.

I'm sorry, but I've not done this, and am not sure what may going wrong for you. Hopefully someone else will know / respond.

Hi Hilary,

One more small help.

In the REST service method, on dropdown change event, we are updating the URL to pull relative data. however, i am hardcoding the site collection and sub site name where my List is present. If i move this Form to production environment where list may present in different sub site, then my form is failing in querying the REST on dropdown change.

Hence could you please help me out in forming a relative URL for my requirement. Relative URL is workin fine, if my list is there at site collection level. like...

/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/SubAreas?$filter=BusinessId eq 1

however, i am not able to form relative url for a sub site List. i.e., if my SubAreas list is there in a subsite called "Employees". Currently i am using like this...

/Employees/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/SubAreas?$filter=BusinessId eq 1

thank you before hand

Hi Hilary,

I finally solved the issue by other approach. i.e., deleting all the values of multi-select group by assigning empty group to it. and i am doing this on dropdown change rule and then re populating new values.

Thank you very much for your help.

Set a rule on the field that is bound to the drop down. That rule should set the field that is bound to the multi-select to blank when the field that is bound to the drop down changes. As mentioned in my post above - that will leave you with additional blank fields in your multi-select - and I'm not sure how to handle for that w/out using code or qRules to remove them.

Re: Page post back issue with Multiple-selection list box

rajkumar.bathula — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 03:12:41 GMT

Thanks a lot Hilary.

from your message "dropdown to set that field to blank when it changes", is this dropdown you are refering is first dropdown? I tried this by writing a rule on change action of first/initial dropdown and i gave left blank for the field of multi-select. Which didnt work. I guess i did mistake here ie., intead selecting he field to which the multi-select is binded, i have to give to repeating field as you said.

if possible could you please share the .xsn file where you implemented this requirement.

thank you

Oh - I forgot with a multi select the way the schema is set up - a repeating field that gets an instance added with each selection. You can set your dropdown to set that field to blank when it changes - you'd still have some blank instances of the field which you could use a filter to not display - I think there is no way in the IP UI to remove those instances of the field however.
