We recently upgraded an intranet site created in SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint 2007. After we did that multiple InfoPath Forms began to fail when either open or submitted. It is unsure if these forms were create in infopath 2003 or 2007 however after recreating one of them, I still get this error when trying to submit. The submit option uses a data connection that emails me for now (testing).
InfoPath cannot submit the error occurred while the form was being submitted-To use this feature Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 must be set as the default e-mail program
Any ideas? And yes, i do have Outlook 2007 on my laptop and it is set to default. This error is received when previewing and when opening from the SharePoint document library.
I found that because the InfoPath form was created in 2003, you can't even copy and paste text boxes from it to a new 2007 form. When i recreated the form from scratch, it worked correctly. Assuming the original was corrupted somehow in the SharePoint upgrade.

Is it possible to do a re-publish of orbeon forms automatically? (ie Forms that have been created with Form Builder and which have been saved and deployed/published before).
Actually we are upgrading from Orbeon 3.9 to Orbeon 4.6, and currently we have lots of orbeon forms in our 3.9 environment. since its very difficult to publish the forms one by one after upgrade to 4.6, it will be good if i can find an easy way to republish all the existing forms.
I found something here at https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner-~-Home-Page
When I tried this, I didn't get any error but the forms were not actually published. and I got error when I opened a new instance of any existing forms.
Appreciate if any one can help me on this.
Thanks
Did you check the orbeon log for errors? If orbeon is running in production mode there may be an error that is not displayed to the user.
I haven't gone through an upgrade myself, but it's possible that you need to upgrade your form definitions. Orbeon 4.6 includes a feature to do this in bulk on the Form Runner Home Page. See the 4.6 blog post.
I am trying to create an Infopath form to submit and change data in a Sharepoint Server List. If I have the form submit to a Sharepoint Server Form Library, it works perfectly fine. I followed the step-by-step instructions to submit a form to a list at the following: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/infopath/archive/2007/03/26/submitting-to-a-sharepoint-list.aspx
That guide's results is exactly what I would need. The list comes out great in the Infopath form, however, when I try to test it and submit the form, I get an error. If I preview and try to fill out the form from within Infopath (after publishing it), I log in as an administrator account that has Full Control permissions. When I click the Submit button, the changes are reverted back to the way it was before! If I click Submit in the Preview's Home tab, the form just closes and I'm not able to see any changes within the database list.
However, if I try submitting from a browser, I would get a warning error like below (after showing error details):
Warning
The form cannot be submitted because of an error.
Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors.
An error occurred while trying to connect to a Web service.
An entry has been added to the Windows event log of the server.
Log ID: 5567
Correlation ID:635e5d9c-20f5-10a9-d022-b92274809ed0
Why would the submitting work for Sharepoint form libraries but not for Sharepoint Lists? I'm quite confused as this is a complicated process that should have been kept simple for users.
Please help. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
A few things...
What versions of infopath and SharePoint are you using?
Have you tried testing your form to make sure it's compatible with a browser? You can do this [within infopath.][1]
Correlation ID's are GUIDs that point to an error log in your SharePoint environment, it should give a more detailed description of your error.

I have Few Doubts about Orbeon CE
If i build the form in form builder how this form can be used in my other context of webapps(I am Using Tomcat 6).
for ex: categoryfrom i build in orbeon context. I want to use this form in My own Context example foo.
How can i proceed with database connection in Orbeon CE to save the data that are entered in the form i build in orbeon. If i click on database connection it is saying like "This Feature is supported in PE version only".
3.How to Establish the Database(Mysql) connection with the form build in Orbeon CE. I have gone through your site but Its not in detail with Orbeon CE.
Orbeon CE says that Mysql is supported. In What way?
About the location of deployed forms: forms you create with Form Builder are also ran by Orbeon Forms. After you hit the Publish button in Form Builder, the form becomes available on a path that depends on the app and form name you chose when creating the form. For instance, if you have Orbeon Forms deployed on http://www.example.com/orbeon, and your app is called patients and the form is called registration, the URL to fill out a new form will be:
http://www.example.com/orbeon/fr/patients/regisration/new
To setup Orbeon Forms with MySQL, see Oracle and MySQL Persistence Layers. You don't need to use Services and Actions for this. The latter is not for form data persistence, but to make queries to the database, say to populate a drop-down, or pre-populate a field live based on a value entered in another field.
I've just created a new Test instance of TFS 2005 SP1 and migrated the databases. The TFS part seems to work correctly, but the Sharepoint site doesn't seem to work.
http://TfsServer/sites/Project1/default.aspx gives a 404 error.
Also heading to Sharepoint Central Administration --> Manage Site collection owners and entering the above site name under 'Web Site URL' gives the following error message:
'The virtual server that is referenced here is not in the config database"
The config database is the only one I did not restore from the source (following instructions here). How do I go about recreating the Sharepoint site?
Thanks!
Sharepoint Central Admin
Manage Web Server List
click on server name

Note the values in textboxes.
Check Remove content database and click on OK.
Recreate content database with the same name (STS_Content_TFS) and other information

I am using infopath 2010 to work on a pre-existing 2007 form (published to MOSS 2007). It appears that I can add new fields of any type apart from type whole number (integer) and these fields will promote correctly into the existing infopath site content type (uploading as an administator approved template). Any newly created field of type whole number (integer) however fails to appear in the Content Type or Site Column list. Is this a bug in infopath 2010 I am wondering ? I have a workaround to use fields of type double but this seems to be a poor cop out approach.
P.S I am using infopath 2010 because this form is very large and complicated and 2010 has lots of features that aid in designing the form.
P.P.S The test fields I am adding are brand new and the infopath content type is no longer sub-classed or referenced by any document lists (i.e I have tried all the usual deleting the content type approaches)
Problem was that the form had some corrupt internal field mappings (this is not very apparent until you start hitting these sorts of issues)... some fields containing missing columnids (see article http://blogs.msdn.com/b/deviations/archive/2010/06/30/help-infopath-forms-and-moss-2007-get-along.aspx). Solution was to delete all of these mappings in the (manifest.xsf) and re-publish the form to a site content type (update existing site content type) which still contained the correct site column guids (promoting each field with 'this content type').
