InfoPath/Sharepoint Question

[Arsheel Khan]

I am using web-services to submit form data to a sharepoint list. The form
submits properly when I run it within Infopath, but when I publish it to
Sharepoint and then submit it gives me the following message: 'An error
occurred while the form was being submitted'

I have used the following example from your blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/03/26/submitting-to-a-sharepoint-list.aspx

Also, is there an alternative to using the 'Filter' feature that isn't
supported with browser-enabled forms. I know that this can be done using by
adding some code, but I am looking on more of a non-programmatic approach.

Thanks for your time!

Hi Arsheel,

I didn't go through the article whose link you have mentioned in your
message but the error which you are getting might be because for
browser based form to communicate with databases, web services, etc,
the data connections should be either converted to the UDCXs or the
form must have full trust.

I guess, the data connections in the form might be creating problems.

Do let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks,
Paresh

Hi Paresh,

Thanks for the reply. All my data is on Sharepoint and is stored/retrieved
from a sharepoint list. I will certainly try out your suggestions and see if
that helps solve the problem.

In the meantime, would you be able to recommend an non-programming
alternative of filtering dropdowns (also known as cascading dropdowns) when
using web-enabled forms since that isn't a supported feature.

Thanks again for your time,
Arsheel

Hi Paresh,

I tried the suggestion you had suggested using UDC. For some reason I am
still getting the same error while submtting although I have configured
everything properly (UDC file inside of DCL).

Could you further advise, as I feel that you have narrowed down the issue
the data connection submitting form data using the web-service

Thanks!

Hi Arsheel,

Apologies for writing a bit late as I was busy with some work.
I would be great if you can send any of your test templates which is
giving you the error at (e-mail address removed)
