Submission Error

[JDArsenault]

Hello

I am getting error message 'File in use by another application or user'
after resubmitting a form into the same Form Library. The process to the
form is the user fills out the Infopath form thru SPS (Sharepoint Portal
Server 2003) website. A second user opens the form and adds information to
the form thru Infopath as well and submits the form back into the same
library with the same name thru a submit button.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

I think the Link below would solve the problem for you.

Thanks for the response Kalyan.

Reading the thread link you provided helped me in that I was using
characters in my data connection wizard file name. Some of the formulas I
tried are;
concat(lastName, ", ", firstName, "_NEIS")
concat(lastName,"_",firstName,"_NEIS")
concat(lastName, firstName, " NEIS")

All of which have no errors when I verify the formula.
I also have Allow Overwrites checked & Close the form chosen within Submit
options.

Regardless of which formula I use, I get this error when resubmitting a form.

Thanks again.

JD

I'm also seeing this error...

Q) After your initial submit, can you (as I could) do a simple File/Save?

This post was helpful, but I'm not convinced the proposed fix is valid, as
my tests indicate that removing the registry key made the submit fail
silently.

It complains whether I use subit or file/save, to the point of canceling out
of the form. But if I go back into the form, the changes have taken effect.

Any ideas?

Build a test case and submit it to MS...

This seems to be a somewhat flakey issue.

Q. Is your form set to be fully trusted? I don't know if this makes a
difference, but did start signing the form for full trust and have not
noticed the error... hmmm.

JD,

Any progress on this?

I'm investigating wether XPPro sp1 vs sp2 affects this issue. It may also
have to do with IE settings.

JD, In my situation, this seems to be related to user security.


For example, on an XPsp1 workstation, user-a gets the error, local
administrator (logged into spps as user with admin rights) doesn't.

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you lately. Been real busy with other stuff,
but this has become an issue yet again.

No, I have any users, domian admins & local admins getting this message. I'm
posting a new thread which tries to explain in further detail called
"Infopath File Submission Error". Check it out & tell me what you think.

Thanks Bob
