I have created an InfoPath 2007 form. I have published it to a shared network
location and it is fully trusted. Users submit the form by email and it has
all the email features enabled. Theform is set to Automatically Update the
version from the source.
Worked great. We then created InfoPath Forms folders within Outlook 2007 and
users are keeping a history of submitted forms, great for searching etc. Used
property promotion to allow this.
I then made a large upgrade to the template where I added fields to the
property promotion area and unfortunately renamed some and moved them in the
date source. I since found out that this was a big mistake!
Now some users have some copies of emailed forms in their Outlook InfoPath
forms folder that do not have any data populating fields. These forms are
related to dates prior to the upgrade of the form. I see what I did wrong
there....
However, we also have a problem with version control. The form is set to
automatically update. Yet some users are being prompted to update a version
that is installed on their computer (seems to be installed somehow from
InfoPath - they did not do it and nor did we) to the current version. This
sometimes works and other times they are still versions behind causing them
to submit an email form that cannot be interpreted by the latest version of
the template. The fields that the user completed come through with no data
except if viewed in the Reading Pane of Outlook where the data is seen. The
form has controls in it to stop submission of blank forms.
I think there is something to do with the xml file and whether I select the
"attach the form template or just form data" in the Email Attachments window
of the Form Options.
When this error occured I had this feature set to email the current view of
the form with form data only.
Can someone please help, I am at my wits end to work this out.
I do not want to change the version control to "Do Nothing" because I want
people to use the current template even when viewing their history files in
their Outlook InfoPath Forms folder.
Save me please!
