Hi,
I have been really struggling for a couple of weeks attempting to get
SharePoint 2007 to allow anonymous access to an InfoPath Form. I
published a form to a Form and Document library and authenticated users
have no trouble opening and submitting data from this form. All my
form currently does is send an email of the data they entered in the
form when users hit the submit button. I enabled anonymous access, but
the only problem is that I am not able to allow anonymous users to add
or edit InfoPath forms in a Form library or Document Library. I tried
to just copy and paste the link to the open form in internet explorer,
and it opens fine for anonymous users for them to see, but when they
hit the submit button they receive the following error:
"Critical Error
There has been a critical error while processing the form.
Click Start Over to load a new copy of the form. If this error
persists, contact the support team for the Web site.Click Close to exit
this message. "
I looked at the event logs and found the following error:
"There was a form postback error. (User: , Form Name: RequestForm_pub,
IP: 123, Request: http://sitename/_layouts/Postback.FormServer.aspx,
Form ID:
urn:schemas-microsoft-com
ffice:infopath:RequestForm-pub:-myXSD, Type:
NullReferenceException, Exception Message: Object reference not set to
an instance of an object.)"
I have looked high and dry for any information on how to give add/edit
rights to anonymous users in Document and Form libraries. Does anyone
out there know if there is a way around this or if there is any other
way to use the Forms Server to allow anonymous users to open published
InfoPath forms and submit data.
Thanks in advance for any help!
