I am a student working for a mining company in Ontario,
Canada. I have an issue that seems to have come
up many times but not really easily solved.
I have access to both 2003 and 2007 versions of Access and Infopath.
More tutorials are available for 2003 versions however. I have tried
to work myself from the simplest operation such as outputting
information from a infopath form to a Access database based off my
computer. I cant replicate this process on Sharepoint.
I have also tried to do a simple infopath form on sharepoint without
any connection with a database. The following is how i do it:
I create the form
publish it to the sharepoint site
But when I go to the sharepoint form library to "fill out this form"
it tries to op en the file but says something along the lines of
The form could not be created.
The required application may not be installed properly, or the template for this form library cannot be opened.
Please try the following::
1. Check the general settings for this form...install the application, and run again (paraphrased)
2. If you have permission to modify this form library, go to general settings for the folder and configure a new template.
I have gone to the form options
and changed the settings so it changes authorization as the situation
changes. However this doenst help either. Is it a problem with the
way I am doing it or my sharepoint server?
I am trying to create a Sharepoint based InfoPath form that is
connected to a Access database which is updated with the data provided
by a user. I dont have access to a MySQL server. I would appreciate
any advice you have on approaching this problem.
Thanks
