InfoPath Dev

I have created a very simple InfoPath form that I want to use as a Document Information Panel in Word. I started with a blank template, added a single data field (to the document database), added a text box and bound the text box to the data field. I then signed the form, gave it full permissions and published it to a network ...

I created various DIPs for Word 2007 documents in InfoPath and published them to a Sharepoint 2010 server. I now need to decommission that server and migrate everything to a new server running Sharepoint 2013 but still keep my DIPs . Can anyone explain to me how to do this? I have spent hours and hours trawling the internet, and cannot ...

That's interesting. They are the custom fields I want to use. So it looks like it has broken the link between the document and the Sharepoint site. If I could achieve the same thing, it would be fine - even in Word 2007, the properties / fields are available even if the Sharepoint site is not. The problem is the 5 or 6 dialogs I have ...

I am just wondering if you are using a later version of Word? I gather DIP functionality was discontinued in 2013 / 2016, so if you do not have the functionality, maybe Word just ignores all the associated data? (Second file attached to this post)

That is really strange. When I open the Blank Report document in Word 2007, I get a string of dialogs / errors before I can actually access the document. I have created two files showing them - I will have to attach them to two separate posts as it will only allow me to add up to 500K per post.

Hilary Not sure what difference it makes in terms of accessing the XML, but here is a .docx file created from one of the templates. I suppose that for new documents, I can just re-create the templates, so I don't need to edit the XML of the templates. But presumably, if it is possible to do so, the process would be the same for both the ...

Hilary Thanks for the reply. I have had to zip the file as it won't allow me to upload a .dotx file. But it is not confidential - it is just a template. I have never tried opening one of these files on a computer outside our system, but I presume it will exhibit the same behaviour on your computer as it is doing on ...

I have a number of custom document information panels which I published to our SharePoint site on our SBS 2011 server. We have now upgraded our server so the original SharePoint site no longer exists. So now, if I open any document which links to the old SharePoint server, have to click through at least four prompts before Word stops ...
