Re: Migrating InfoPath 2007 forms to 2013?

I currently have forms that are in InfoPath 2010 and being used in Moss 2007 (but were originally created in InfoPath 2007 for use w/ SharePoint 2003) that I'm trying to keep in InfoPath 2010 and republish in SharePoint 2013 - is this possible? I'm not getting any errors when publishing the forms, but when I try to create a new one, I just get a blank screen and the URL is incorrect. When I try to go directly to the correct URL, nothing happens.

Has anyone experienced this or know anything about this?

Thanks,

Shannon G

Did you ever have any luck figuring this out? We are planning to upgrade to SharePoint 2013 and have many InfoPath forms that we are currently using with InfoPath 2007 and it almost looks like we need to upgrade to Infopath 2013 but I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck using 2007.

So far, all I know is that we have to upgrade to SharePoint 2010 before upgrading to SharePoint 2013...

I think SharePoint 2013 is recent enough that there's no best practice yet, but as with any upgrade, I would recommend testing if possible. If you have a spare server, where you can upgrade from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2013, it would be a good test. If you don't have a place to test, then make sure to have a backup. Back up all your form templates, your XML forms, etc. And perhaps most important of all, communicate with users, to make sure they understand the upgrade and the possibility of downtime as issues are worked out.

InfoPath 2007 and 2010 forms, in theory, should work in SharePoint 2013, but it's always good to test.

What is the best practice for migrating InfoPath forms to the newest version of SharePoint. We are currently using SharePoint 2007 and InfoPath 2007 (as well as Office 2007 Suite of products).

1. Will InfoPath 2007 form work with SharePoint 2013?

2. Will all forms need to be converted before SharePoint upgrade?
