Frozen Form in B1 2007

Hi guys,
I have a tricky problem here. I just started to develop on SDK 2007. And now I'm stuck in my first problem.
I made a Form in ScreenPainter. It contains a Grid Item. Then I load the Form, like i did 2005. At first glance
everthing looks fine, but the Form seems to be "frozen" or something. I can't select a row in the grid (I changed Selection Mode to Single Select). But the form handles the events.
Another thing I noticed is, when I stop debugging mode, the Form works fine again, wich means the rows in grid are at least selectable.
What could this be ???

Yes I tried to add a new row, and it works, wich means it shows the new entry. But still the form looks frozen.
I tried to change the FormType property, which probably was way to long. And it workd for a few minutes. Today I'll see if it's becouse of the FormType or something else.
I found the couse of the problem :
- It's the ItemEvent that makes the trouble. Thats the reason why it workd for a few minutes. When I changed the ItemEvent part the form is frozen again.
Is there something new about the ItemEvent handling that I should now about ???
Becouse on 2005 everything still works fine. So there must be something about SDK 2007.

Migrate Infopath forms from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

Hi,
Please provide help
Migrate infopath 2007 forms in MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010

How many forms do you have that needs to migrate from 2007 to 2010?
You can also open the 2007 forms in Designer mode of InfoPath 2010, save as 2010 filler or browser.
You need to make sure data connections are updated to point to new sites/document libraries/lists etc.
Any custom code that may contain data connections should be updated.
Inspect Rule Inspector to see if you find any connections hardcoded anywhere.

Error when I "submit Form" through Outlook 2007

We have a interviewer who is trying to use a new form we created. When she hits the "submit form" button she gets the normal prompts and then a email is placed in her outbox (using Outlook 2007). However, after a few moments she receieves an error code saying that the object can't be found. This did not happen with forms in previously versions of Acrobat. Any help would be appreciated.

PDFMaker missing files issue with PDF Forms from Office 2007

Hi,
I have Adobe PDF 8.0 Pro installed (full installation) and I upgraded office from 2003 to 2007 AND Windows from 2000 to XP Pro.
I used to be able to create PDF Forms from an Excel document when using Office 2003.
Now, when I choose to create a new form starting with an electronic document [from an Excel 2003 document (.xls)], I get this error message:
"PDFMaker files are missing, would you like to repair?" (please image attached)
I did the repair. Did not worked.
I made sure the add-in in office was enabled. Did not worked.
I un-installed Adobe 8.0 Pro and Adobe Reader 9.0 and re-installed only Adobe 8.0 Pro , thinking there was a problem there. Did not work.
I googled for more answers, did not find anything else.
I am able to "print as Adobe PDF", I can create normal PDF documents, but not the Forms.
I used that option all the time for work. Can someone help me please?!!
Thanks!
Gwen

Bill, it worked!!
I updated to 8.1.6 and now I can use an electronic document to create a form.
Thank you!
I have another question: in the past, to enable Acrobat READER users to fill out a form and save it on their computer, all I had to do is "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" in the "advanced" menu of Acrobat Pro.
I did just that but my colleagues who have Adobe Reader 9 cannot fill the form. It appears as a scanned PDF document to them.
Any idea why?!

Importing pdf form into Excel 2007 gives me a blank form

Howdy. I am using Excel 2007 and I choose Insert - Object - Adobe Acrobat Document. When the pdf is inserted I see the form but every field is now blank. I am using Adobe Reader X to review the forms I receive. I do not know when version the original form was created in. Even if I save the form in Reader X and then import it, it is still blank. Does anyone know how to keep the data in the form?
Thanks

Form fields and annotations (such as those available on the Review & Comment toolbar) are not part of the core PDF page content.
Form fields and annotations are objects that are associated with a location on a PDF page.
Core content of a PDF (including the glyphs that depict textual content) are graphic objects "painted" to the PDF page by the PDF creation process.
A simple way to see this is to create two simple 1 page PDFs having different page content.
On the first PDF, add a form field and an annotation. Save. Now, use Replace Pages to replace PDF#1 with PDF#2.
Or, do the opposite. Either demonstrates that form fields and annotations are not part of the core PDF page content.
Simplistic, but convenient is to consider form fields/annotations as on a separate "layer".
The "meat and potatoes" are in ISO 32000-1.
Adobe's ISO approved copy of ISO 32000-1 (The PDF ISO Standard):
http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/PDF32000_200 8.pdf
What is inserted into the Excel file is the core PDF page content.
Using Acrobat Pro:
To "flatten" form fields into the PDF page content you could use Acrobat's Optimizer or a Preflight.
To "flatten" annotations into the PDF page content you could use an Acrobat Preflight.

Prevent Text Boxes to shrink as big as the text in it - move existing InfoPath form from SharePoint 2007 to SP2013

Hello Together,
we have some simple InfoPath forms in place. With SharePint 2007 they are working well. Now we will move to SharePoint 2013.
It was easy to re-publish them on a SharePoint 2013 Site and to work with, but i have an optical / technical error and i don't find the solution.
We use Text Boxes to collect the data from the user. After the user has filled the form we will submit them via mail.
I will you show you the problem.
on SharePoint 2007 --> it looks okay
on SharePoint 2013 --> not okay - the Text Box is shrinked to the text Size and the design is defect
How can i prevent this?
Thanks in advance
Sebastian
I can provide Screenshots, bit at the moment my account is not verfied...

Can you please share screen shot.
Before try removing the field form View and Add it again - check it

How to create modal Form in SBO 2007

Is it still no way to create a modal SBO form
I want to create SBO Form that pause the lines of code from runing until the form is closed
Modal property of the SBO Form still ready only.
Sincerely yours
Riade Asleh

> Or you can use threading to work.
Indeed, unless I'm mistaken, one will have to. In a common GUI API, if you open a modal form on the event thread, thereby putting it in WAIT state, another event pump is set up. But that functionality isn't available in the SBO UI API AFAIK.
To put it differently: if you open a form in an SBO event handler and enter the WAIT state, the whole SBO application won't react anymore.
So the way to do it is this:
<ul>
<li>Create a new Thread and start it. Within that Thread ...</li>
<li>Create your window. </li>
<li>Register a FORM_UNLOAD (or FORM_CLOSE -- I don't remember which one is deprecated) listener for that form</li>
<li>Create a locking Object. A simple <tt>new Object()</tt> will do</li>
<li>Show the form, and then enter a WAIT state on the lock previously created. In VB, for instance, that would be written:
    SyncLock waitObj
        Monitor.Wait(waitObj)
    End SyncLock
</li>
<li>When the FORM_UNLOAD handler is called (hopefully because the form was closed), notify the lock. For instance, VB again:
    SyncLock waitObj
        Monitor.Pulse(waitObj)
    End SyncLock
</li>
</ul>
Mind you you might run into some trouble, as SBO suffers multi-threading somewhat less than gladly in my experience.
But it might be worth giving it a try -- it's a fairly simple operation, so it might work without too much or indeed any hassle.
PS: that nobr ain't none of mine

How to use custom forms created in SharePoint 2007 to work in SharePoint 2010

Hi,
We have created some custom forms in SharePoint 2007 (for add a New item and Edit item for some list and libraries) after migration to SP 2010 we found out thet we can use those custom forms because the document versions are 12.0.0.0 which
should be 14.0.0.0 in SharePoint 2010
Could someone please tell me if we can migrate forms from SP2007 to SP2010 as well?
I even tried to change document Version and content but still not working! Do we need to recreate those forms in SP2010?
Thanks

How much effort in developing an offline adobe interactive form - crm 2007

We have a requirement to develop an offline adobe interactive form in crm 2007 sp4. The form will be linked with a visit transaction and when saved will also facilittae the transfer of the form from crm to outlook via groupware integration. From what i can see we have the following steps which will need to be implemented.
1 - Develop web service to pull information from the created visit to the Offline Adobe Interactive Form
2 - Create an Adobe interactive Form template to hold the details of the visit
3 - Set up Groupware Integration to pass the form from CRM to Outook (DONE)
4 - Develop some approach for uploading the form data back to the CRM server (of which there appears to be three approaches - Submit by Email / WebServices / WebDynpro-Upload )
The form itself is not going to be too detailed. It will be prepopulated with the following fields:
Account No, Account Name, Contact, Date, Time, Transaction No, Transaction Category. It will also have a number of text fields which will be used to capture the details of the visit. It will have a submit button to allow for the data to be uploaded by the appropriate upload method.
Can anyone give me some guidance as to how long it would take to implement such a requirement.
Thanks in advance

Using Form to pass value to query parameters in the selct part of query

I created a form in Access 2007 to pass 2 values to an Access query. I am doing this to create delimited output (very large) with the parameters included in the selected data. The select works and is something like this:
SELECT "^"+!FORM!EXPORT2DAT!PREF_VALUE+"_"+Replace(UCase([column_1])," ","_")+"^|" AS OUTPUT_column1, "^"+!FORM!EXPORT2DAT!COMPANY_VALUE+[COLUMN_3]+"
([COMPANY_VALUE])"+"^|" AS OUTPUT_column2,....................
The form has text boxes for the values I want to pass PREF_VALUE and COMPANY_VALUE to the query parameters, and an execute button to open the query when clicked.
However when I enter the values and click the execute button, I still get the parameter boxes for the 2 parameters. 1 for this: !FORM!EXPORT2DAT!PREF_VALUE, and FORM!EXPORT2DAT!COMPANY_VALUE. I thought I was filling in with the form text box values.
Can I use the form's text boxes to pass values to concatenated using(+) columns in the select part of the query as I'm doing above?
Thanks in advance for your response.

I have never seen a select statement like that!
For query criteria I would use this --
[FORMS]![EXPORT2DAT]![PREF_VALUE]
and [FORMS]![EXPORT2DAT]![COMPANY_VALUE]

Integration between InfoPath web forms (browser side), SharePoint 2010, and Word or Excel

To begin with the end in mind, here's what I need to do:
User A (employee) fills out infopath form in browser.
User A saves infopath form, workflow runs, and sends a link to the manager
User B (Manager) opens infopath form, clicks a button, and all the information from the saved infopath form magically appears in a excel document
Here's how I did it, because I couldn't find an easier way to do it. This is an InfoPath no-code solution (uses web service and workflow I had to build) and this is working somewhat:
In InfoPath Designer 2010, created the form from Blank 2007 form template.
Published the form and promoted fields to Sharepoint 2007 as a new forms library.
Created a view on forms library to show all fields (SQLExportView1).
Created SSIS package to import data from SharePoint forms list using the view "SQLExportView1" into a new database and table in SQL Server (tblSQLExport1).
Created SQL Agent job to run this package every 2 minutes.
Created workflow to notify manager.
Created excel document with an external data connection to SQL server.
In SQL, created a stored proceedure ("spGetCurrentID") to truncate, then add a row to a table ("tblCurrentFormID").
On InfoPath form, added a button that takes the current infopath form "ID" into a table in SQL server by calling the stored procedure via a web service.
On Infopath form, added a hyperlink to the excel file which opens in the client.
In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the current form ID, and drops it into a cell.
In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the sharepoint list details that were exported via SSIS, returning only the row for the current form ID.
In excel, created a button on the workbook that displays the fields I want in the location I want
With over 25 users concurrently hitting the form library, there is a chance that when they open excel they will generate an excel document with bad data in it (data from someone else's current ID).
I've since migrated to SharePoint 2010, and it works the exact same way in 2010.
What I want to do is find a way to get the data that is already saved in the infopath form DIRECTLY to Excel by clicking a button without the web service, the stored procedure, the SSIS package, the SQL agent job, etc. My problem has always been
in getting the data from infopath into RAM/Clipboard/temp file(?) and imported into Excel by bypassing the SQL.
Of course, I would like to do this without requiring an administrator approved template in InfoPath, and have it be much more simpler to maintain. There are a lot of moving parts.
Please point me to any examples or make recommendations. The requirement is that users open the form, the data is filled out already, and with a click of a button, the data shows up in excel automatically in the right place for the item they're currently
looking at in infopath.
Now that I've got this working (kind of) for one excel document, management wants to add 25 other documents that this one infopath form can generate.
Therefore, once I get this to work better for one excel document, I can add other excel documents.
I've considered passing a parameter to the excel document in Excel Web Services, as I believe that excel web services 2010 can support this. However, I believe that the macros that run in the excel client okay won't work in excel web services 2010.
Users would prefer to open Excel in the client, though, so not sure I'm going to go down this path.

Clayton,
You rock - thank you for all your responses!
The infopath form was built doing what it does long before the need to get the data into Excel.
You are correct in that I could have modified the infopath code to save to SQL, but the fields in the form and on the forms library columns do change before and after the manager approves it. As such, adding some code to submit the infopath data to
SQL could have been used to write data into SQL server instead of leveraging SSIS/SQL Agent to do so. However the aformentioned workflow (see way up in the thread) does more than just send an email to the manager with a link. It also edits some fields in the
forms library column on that particular list item. By using SSIS, every two minutes they get the latest stuff from sharepoint into SQL without having to add code in the workflow or - if possible - on the infopath code that does a table update where item=abc.
It is common to get data from sharepoint into sql, regardless of whether or not it is a list or library (including infopath forms libraries). There is sample code on Codeplex that has been downloaded close to 40,000 times for this purpose which I'm sure
you are familiar with:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137(v=sql.100).aspx and
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652
I agree with you in so many ways on why they should not be using excel (or word) to present the information. Having InfoPath or a custom workflow magically convert the data presented on a specific view in a filled out InfoPath form to PDF and emailing it
would be wonderful, but it simply is not a possible solution.
Surely you're familiar with companies that have a word document that, say, a manager will email to someone as an attachment, then the employee prints out the word document, fills it out on paper and signs it with a pen (or fills out a fillable form, then
prints it), they then either fax it back or scan it and email it back to the manager, who then prints it out and hands it to a VP for a signature, etc. Yes, the process is very old-fashioned, but in health care, finance, and for legal compliance reasons,
some places simply have to do their manual processes the way they are. I've suggested and shown examples of how it can all be done electronically with digital signatures, etc., but their legal compliance officers and board members do not agree to this methodology.
As such, I work within the confines I am presented with, as I'm sure you've had to do as well.
I myself have worked for several Fortune 100 firms for many years (Microsoft, T-Mobile, etc), know what is possible. However the place I am at now, many of those options simply are not possible.
They use excel (and word) because that is the templates the legal department and third party companies they work with gives them to work with.
If you've used enterprise OCR systems (LaserFiche, OnBase, Hyperion, etc.) you would be familiar with the fact that in order to scan and index keywords from OCR cover pages, the document has to have fields in a certain location. While I have tried to
get the InfoPath form to line up properly, I cannot print out headers or footers and page breaks where the OCR system requires and expects them to be. What's more: when you print a filled out infopath form that loads browser side, as you know you get the browser-related
stuff with it. Although they're all on the same web browser (finally - IE8) and all on windows 7 and office 2010, I cannot control the fact that some users use large fonts and other accessability features to make their 21" screens run at 640x480 (exaggeration).
When you do this, it changes the margins in the print area, and more.
If I could take the data that is in infopath, merge it with an excel template, and export that to PDF, that could be an option. Not looking to buy some enterprise PDF generating product, though, and looking to do this as close to a no-code solution as possible.
Why we're suggesting PDF, perhaps we should be considering XPS, since we are staying with the Microsoft technology stack here.
Perhaps I should rephrase my original question like this: "I have 25 different documents that all need to be filled out automatically. Each document has different text on it, but the fields that need to be filled out on the documents are almost all
the same. I want to present one form for users to fill out, and once saved, to generate all 25 different documents. How would you do this?". While not entirely accurate, as not all 25 documents need to be created at once, only on demand with a click of a button
for each document, perhaps that is a better way of stating the need.
Thank you Clayton (and all you lurkers out there hoping to find out how we solve this).

Infopath form load rule not working in browser forms but works on Client

Hi
I am working on an Infopath form and there are rules on form load. The form load checks for a value in a list, if the username() matches the one in the list, then the form would change its view.
It works when I open it on client, but on the browser it fails.
Have anyone encountered such an issue.

Check below:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16222681/infopath-rule-is-not-running-when-checking-sharepoint-list-field-value
Ensure that "Include data for the active form only" was checked (I had to separate this field into another data connection because that box could not be checked for another field I was using), and
Ensure that in the rule I was selecting from the "dataFields" folder under the data connection instead of "queryFields"
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/28554/infopath-form-load-rules-not-working
if I edit the Infopath form on Infopath 2007, it seems that the rules for the load form will be visible if created.
This look like a bug. Here are the steps below that will lead you to the bug:
Step 1: Open the infopath form in Infopath 2010 and create 6 rules for Form Load and Save it as a file.
Step 2: Open that infopath form that you created in Step 1 in InfoPath 2010 and go to the
Form Load section. You will only see the first 5 rules. The 6th rules that you created for Step 1 will just "vanish". Now, close that infopath form.
Step 3: Open that infopath form that you created in step 1 in InfoPath 2007 and select Tools > Form Option. In the
Open and Save category, click the Rules button and add a new rule in it and save it.
Step 4: Open that infopath form that you modify as describe in Step 3 in InfoPath 2010. That 6th rule will be visible.
Therefore, there might be a bug in InfoPath 2010 that restrict Rules to a max of 5 in Form Load and thus if anyone open that form in SharePoint, only the first 5 rules will be executed.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Cannot save a changed form

This happened to my most complicated form in Access 2007.
When I try to edit the form in design view, if i make any changes and then try to close the form the dialogue asking if I want to save the changes appears. The only way to close the form is to click No. If I click yes or cancel the form stays
open. Also, I cannot rename the form in the Navigation pane. The option is there, but the change is ignored. Also, I cannot use the ofiice button save as to get a copy of the form. This problem only occurs on this one form. Solution
of last resort: recreate from scratch.

Drat! I was going to suggest decompiling next.

If you can import the *data* from the corrupted database, and you have a
backup that contains uncorrupted forms and reports, maybe you can reassemble
a working database by combining the two. Unfortunately, if you've done a
lot of development on the forms and reports since you made that backup,
you'll have a lot to redo.
If that isn't a workable solution, I'm out of suggestions for things you can
do yourself. Seeing as it's a critical database, I'd suggest you contact
one of the professional database repair companies. I know of two with good
reputations:
PKSolutions:
http://pksolutions.com/t4.htm
Everything Access:
http://www.everythingaccess.com/accessdatabaserepair.htm
Neither of those will charge you anything if they can't repair your
database. I'm sure there are other companies that do similar work, but
these are the ones with which I am familiar.
