Hello everyone,
I posted this previously, but it may have been in the wrong area.
I am currently working on making an easy way for several departments to submit their monthly reports, then for those reports to be merged into one full group report. I have am using Sharepoint, with the form as the list template. When I go to merge my 2 test forms though i get the following error:
The document(s) could not be merged.
The required application may not be installed properly, or the template for this document cannot be opened.
Please try the following:
1. Check the General Settings for this document library for the name of the template, and install the application necessary for opening the template. If the application was set to install on first use, run the application and then try creating a new document again.
2. If you have permission to modify this document library, go to General Settings for the library and configure a new template.
My template loads as an XSN file rather than XML for some reason, but other then that, the directions the error window provides are both vague and ambiguous. Merge does what it is supposed to do from the hard drive but not sharepoint. How can I correct this problem?
Additionally, while I have fixed most of the minor issues I had before, how can I make it so that the merged documents provide a printable view of all the fields, even the ones that are based on conditional formatting that would normally hide them?
Thanks,
Jared
