InfoPath Dev

Hi RRajan, The first issue seems like either a) user not connected to internet, or b) resource issue on server. Please make sure users are online and that the server has enough RAM and CPU to handle the requests. For 2007 I would recommend 8Gb RAM and a minimum dual proc 2.5Ghz or above. If you already have that, try doubling to 16Gb and quad ...

Hi Kamishiro-san and thanks for posting. I recently replied to another poster on the same topic: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/25273/87867.aspx#87867 The problem you will have with Method #1 is contention when two users submit simultaneously. I talk about this in the post referenced above. Best practice is to use a double submit. To get ...

Probably because that's the design of the thing. Try using a standard dropdown instead. If you need to type in a separate text field you could add an "other" button that hides the dropdown and displays a text box for typing. If you need to select multiple items, try adding the dropdown to a repeating section. I don't ...

Yes, you can add a SharePoint workflow with an Impersonation Step that removes the permissions on the newly added items. Or, you could simply copy the submitted item from your "open" list to one that is "restricted" and delete the copy from the open list. Easy to do with out-of-box workflows.

Hi Jazz with a Back Beat, Did your database change? If not, I'm guessing the XSN got corrupted in which case, it's back the "last known good". I guess it's all about timing. Cheers,

Hi KV, Since you said you had multiple lists, I'll assume you are using InfoPath form and not the list forms. 1. Best practice when you have to modify the form is to always add fields to the data source. That way, XMLs saved with previous versions will automatically open with the new one. If you have to make a data source modification that ...

Are there any data connections in the form? Are those pointing to UDCs that are relative or central?

Hi Crhis and welcome! Have you checked the Design Checker in InfoPath Designer for warnings or errors?  If not, that might have something in it. The best way to diagnose the issue is to look at your SharePoint logs. They will give you a specific error of why the publish is failing. This should be pretty easy to figure out. We have ...

Hi Bejeweled, You can do one of the following:Query your SharePoint list with a filter (qRules FilterOwssvr, SharePoint 2010 REST, or DBXL QuerySharePoint are three ways to do this) This technique is best practice for large lists since the filter is done on the server. Get all items from SharePoint list and filter in the form Simple and ...

Hi Jen, This is really weird. The error message suggests that the InfoPath process running locally is opening the file twice for some reason (or is doing something that prevents all future files from opening, for example, by locking a resource).  Restarting the machine should shut down the InfoPath process, though. My only ...
