An error in Web-Browser-Enabled form

[Bernice]

I am trying to create a web-browser-enabled form to collect data via
sharepoint. The first submission works but subsequent submissions fail with
an error “An error occurred while the form was being submittedâ€.

Does anyone have any solution to solve this issue?

I did some search. It seems it is a common problem without a valid solution.
See the discussion below.

I am listing my process for your reference.

Step1: create a form

Step2: set sharepoint library as data connection

Step3: configure submit options

Step4: check compatibility

Step5: Publish the form to the desired sharepoint.


It is much appreciated if anyone could give me a hand.

Thanks,
Bernice

Hi,

If you are trying to submit to sharepoint form library, please check
whether versioning is enabled for the form library?

Hi Paresh,

I didn't enable versioning.

However, after I enabled versioning, the same error occured. Any thoughts?

Is my process correct?

For me, the subsequent submissions usually failed because I was
submitting the form to the sharepoint library by some hardcoded name
(versioning not enabled).
After first submission, the file name in the library was, say,
abc.xml.
Now, if I try to submit the same form again, it will throw an error
because the file of that name is already present.

Have you published the form again after enabling versioining ?


Thanks,

Hi Paresh,

I tried to publish the form again after enabling versioning. However, the
same error occured.

Plus, the file name is set to be a value of a field, that is, very file name
is different.

Do you have any idea on the error? Could you please share with me how you
create - config - publish the form? I am thinking that I may miss any
setting.

Thanks,
Bernice

Hi Bernice,

Can you please mail me the details or your step by step approach? You
can also mail me the details at my mail address in the signature below

Also, I am in a process of writing an article from creating a simple
browser based IP form, connecting it to a datasource, converting the
data connections to UDCXs, publishing the form to the sharepoint
library, property promotions, submitting the form to sharepoint with
complete steps, which I will share with the group soon.

Thanks,
Paresh

If you are trying to overwrite an existing submitted form, when you
are setting up the data connection make sure "Allow overwrite if file
exists" is checked.

Hi Jess,

Thanks for advise.

Actually, I did do that.

Thanks Paresh!
