That error is occurring on the SharePoint server itself, and a likely cause is that you are not specifying a listName as a parameter to the WebMethod. If you are specifying a listName, what is the value you are using? It should be a GUID.

I made the following corrections but I still get the same error. I deleted he Location column and re-added it so the right name is used. I was testing with using Rules for the submit option is why there were two sets of Submits.

The following error occurred:

InfoPath cannot submit the form.
An error occurred while the form was being submitted.
The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

File:script.js
Line:43

Attached, please find an update which uses C# Managed Code (for IP2003) to do the task.

There were some problems with the form and code:

1. The Add button performed a submit and requery, followed by the code performing a submit.

a. Removed the submit/query rules and added query functionality to code.

2. The EventCAML.xml file had a wrong field name listed, causing the submit error:

Should have been:

Yes it does. It is named "Submit"

Hi Steve,

Is your data connection named "Submit"? That's probably the issue. It has to have the same name.

I get the following error when I try to add a record to a Sharepoint List.

The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

Server was unable to process request. ---> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

File:script.js
Line:120

Line 120 is XDocument.DataAdapters["Submit"].Submit();

Does anyone know why? I am submitting to the UpdateListItem web service.

Code:

function btnAdd::OnClick(eventObj)
{
var root = XDocument.DOM;

// Retrieve the values for the calendar item
var title = root.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:myFields1/my:Title").text;
var location = root.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:myFields1/my:Location").text;
var description = root.selectSingleNode("my:myFields/my:myFields1/my:Description").text;

var batch = XDocument.DataObjects["EventCAML"].DOM;

// Set the location
batch.selectSingleNode("/Batch/Method/Field[@Name='Title']").text = title;

// Set the location
batch.selectSingleNode("/Batch/Method/Field[@Name='Location']").text = location;

// Set the location
batch.selectSingleNode("/Batch/Method/Field[@Name='Description']").text = description;

// Submit the item details to the web service to update the calendar
XDocument.DataAdapters["Submit"].Submit();
XDocument.UI.Alert( "Change Request has been successfully saved" );
}
