Hi,

SQL server will available internally and externally. but your sql server will be placed in network locations. So that you can able to access the sql.

Can you check that is your SQL server and another remote location are in same network?.

And also one more Question, Are you using same user name for remote location and internal location machines to open Infopath?

Error connecting to SQL Server data sources when opening an InfoPath form from an external location

When I connect to our SharePoint site from a remote location and open an InfoPath form from within a SharePoint library I get an error that the connection to the data sources (only those in SQL Server) can't be established because they aren't available. When I cancel eventually the form opens but all the form elements that get their data from the SQL server data sources are empty. When I do the same but internally, everything works fine. Is this normal that the SQL Server data sources are only available to the InfoPath form when working from an internal location? I thought SQL Server data should be available internally and externally…
