Hi,

I'm having the same error message. I'm submitted to a sharepoint library using a data connection called "Submit" and I have allow overwrite if file exists. User clicks submit button no problem but when user add information and clicks approve button they get the error message. When I go to Sharepoint site form has been updated but need to not get this message.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,
I hope you are using DAVAdapter for submitting data to SharePoint.
Which method are you using for submit
"Submit" or "SubmitData".
If you are using "SubmitData" method then this method will not overwrite a file if the file is in use, this can be the same form.

If you are not using "SubmitData" then the problem is with your form library.

Infopath File Submission Error

Hello Again,

I am getting error message "File in use by another application or user", when trying to submit chasnges to a form into the same Form Library.
If I use save, I get "Infopath cannot save the form. The specified location is either not valid or not available. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the location is correct."
If I use file | exit or close, I can get out of the form & when returning to the form, the changes are there.

The process to the form is the user fills out the Infopath form thru SPS (Sharepoint Portal Server 2003) website. A second user opens the form and adds information to the form thru Infopath as well and submits the form back into the same library with the same name thru a submit button.

I'm told that this issue is a sharepoint lock problem from the Infopath communities, but even after waiting 10 min. (by default) I cannot submit changes.

The only way I can submit changes, is to open the form, delete the form from the sharepoint form library & then submit the form back to the form library while in Infopath.

In my form template, the submit button formula verifies with no errors & I also have Allow Overwrites checked & Close the form chosen within the Submit options.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My scalp will thank you also for a little less thinning & graying.
