InfoPath Dev

I want to display infopath forms using web browser but it is giving me a error which is "The form cannot be displayed because the session state is not available". When i publish the form then it is succesfullly doing that but when i click to display the form using browser, it is giving me the above error. I have checked the Infopath Forms Services, everything is fine but still  i am not able to display the form.

Also while publishing, the option stating "Enable forms to be displayed using browser" is disabled and It is not highlighted. It is publishing the form sucessfully but also showing a message box stating "This form template is browser compatible but it cannot be browser - enabled on the selected site".

 Plz reply as soon as possible.Its realy very urgent.

Please confirm you have MOSS 2007 and InfoPath 2007.

Have you used the design checker to verify the form.

Go to Form Options and the combatibility section and enable browser compatibility.

 Hi, I'm Jenny's Colleague. Yes, we have MOSS 2007 and Infopath 2007. Design checker was also used and when we try to publish the form, it says that form is browser compatible but there's something wrong with Sharepoint Form Services. We couldn't find anything which could make sense in MOSS 2007.
 

There are some configuration settings you should verify, both at the Farm level and at the Site level, that might prevent you from using a browser enabled form via Forms Services in a Moss Environment.

Here's a short checklist:

• Ensure that MOSS Enterprise Features are enabled at the site collection level (from the top level site of the site collection, navigate to Site Settings -> Site Collection Features and activate the Enteprise Features, if needed)
• Repeat the previous step scoped at the site level (navigate to the site you wish to publish / activate your form template into, then go to Site Settings -> Site Features and activate Ent. Features)
• Ensure the form is browser compatible (which I think you already did, so ... just to provide a complete answer :-))
• Ensure you publish the form leaving the "Enable this form to be filled out by using a browser" checked

Also, please note that you probably need to have session state enabled for your browser forms to function correctly.

You can do this by navigating to the Central Administration -> Application Management -> Configure Session State. Session state can be enabled only if you have configured a Shared Service Provider for your web application, so please also ensure you have SSP configured as well.

 HTH

I have done everthing you mentioned.  However, I still cannot display infopath forms via Form Services.

Please give more details of how to configure SSP.  

What happens when you try?

Hey PulSazz,

Are you using the latest version of SharePoint? We've seen problems with people who were not on the latest Service Pack. Check your SharePoint logs. Check your versions. And then, call Microsoft. We can't debug Microsoft bugs in this forum. We can tell you they exist - they do! But, we can't do much more. Your Microsoft support desk may be your final resort/consort.

Sorry for the sazz.

That is clearly pointing to one of 3 things:

• You are only using MOSS Standard and not Enterprise, or
• You haven't enabled Enterprise features at the site collection level, or
• Your settings in Central Admin > Configure Forms Services do not allow users to browser-enable templates (this is a simple check-box)

You have verified all 3 of these?  I would need to see screenshots of each thing in your environment in order to be sure.

Looks like it's all there.  Are you for sure publishing the form to the same exact URL as that site collection you showed?

Yes, we are.   We are running windows 2003 64-bits.  Do you think it's the problem?  Any other ways that we can do the tests?

I can't think of anything else.  It should be working.

We unintalled sharepoint's enterprise features and then reintalled enterprise features.

There was a log error message "The InfoPath forms servies support feature is not properly activate.  Document library could not be found at IWConverted".

Please reply.

Hi,

 Try to deactivate and activate IPFSWebFeatures using stsadm command

 Hope this help :-)
