Infopath 2010 - Naming the form

Hello,
I am wking on the infopath forms. Want to know if the infopath form can be named automatically
when saved, as I want a unique nme for each form to further use it in the workflow. Can I please have a detailed description or an
online resurce as I am new to this.
Thanks in advance,
Suma.

Simply don't use the save button, use the submit button to data connection, and in the data connection name the form depending on fields' values using a set of functions like contcat function.

Mohamed, my article doesn't use the save button and says to only use the submit button. Was there a reason you gave this reply when Fausto mentioned my blog article?SharePoint Architect || Microsoft MVP ||

Sharepoint 2010, InfoPath 2010 with Custom Workflow. Error Message: InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while form was submitted...

I have created an InfoPath form that submits to a Sharepoint library with custom workflow attached. The workflow is initiated when the user submits the form. An email is sent to the supervisor who clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and approved
the form via the emailed form. Then, based on certain criteria the form is either emailed to the VP or the workflow is complete. The VP is sent an email and clicks the "Encoded Absolute URL" and sumbits the form via the emailed form. This is
how I would like it to work. The reality is, the form submits and is emailed to the supervisor and the supervisor is able to approve but when the form is sumbitted I get an error. The error is "InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occured while
this form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: <URL> The file <URL> is checked out for editing by <me> The operation completed successfully." The operation did not complete successfully and it
is not checked out. I have read in previous posts that the file is locked. Since I am in the testing faze of the project there is no one else using the form. I have waited 24 hours and the lock has not been released. Please help!!! My deadline is growing short.

I ran into your post while having a similar issue. I don't have a 'full' fix for you, but I noticed at least in our case if you made sure you opened the Infopath form through the browser instead of the client Infopath program (use the drop-down menu
and open in browser) the error doesn't occur. Hope that helps some....

Hello,
Is your InfoPath form is fully trusted. Please check once. You can set this to true from "Security and Trust" option.
Thanks! BR, Prasham http://prashamsabadra.blogspot.in/

Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values)

Infopath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterik(required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values).
Press Ctrl+Shift+O for next error or Press Ctrl+Shift+I for error details
Please help me, Thank in advance.
Sravan.

Hi Sravan, this means that one or more of the fields are required to be filled in or have validation set up on them so that the information entered matches a certain criteria. Make sure what's entered matches what's required. If the form still can't be
submitted, check the rules set in InfoPath and the list/library to see what's causing the error(s).

Infopath 2010 showing different form than server version after upgrading computer

Hello everyone,
I just had my laptop upgraded, but nothing has changed in regards to software versions.
When I open my SharePoint List up, and open a previous from in InfoPath 2010, the form size and dimensions are all skewed. If I make a change to make it look proper in InfoPath, the web version when editing displays the changes but they are skewed as well.
Is there something in the settings I'm missing here?
Here is a few screenshots...
This is the web version (the way it's supposed to look
Here is what it looks like in InfoPath
Thanks in advance,
Terence

Another option is to create/modify the CSS to accommodate the browser(s) used in your organization,

Voice mail will open in Outlook 2010. The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened.

I'm running Exchange Server 2007, Outlook 2010 and Lync 2010.
Unified Messaging is enabled. When a voice mail is left, the voice mail is delivered to my Inbox, but the message will not open. I get the error "The form region "UmOutllokAddinRA" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead."
If I have the Conversation History Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2010 enabled, I also get the error "The form region "IPM.Note.Microsoft.Missed.Voice.Region" cannot be opened. Outlook will use the default form instead." Disabling the
add-in clears the error.
Uninstalling Lync did not help so I'm not sure if that is the issue or not. I've tried reinstalling Outlook and Lync to no success.
Any thoughts?

I am getting the same thing with Exchange Server 2010, Outlook 2010, and Lync 2010.
It appears to be a client side error.
Anyone have any ideas on this?

IE10 Spell Check on Infopath 2010 Browser Enabled Forms

We are rolling out some new InfoPath browser enabled forms in SharePoint 2010. We are hoping to use the Internet Explorer 10 spell check functionality, as I know the InfoPath spell check functionality isn't available in browser enabled forms.
What we've found is that IE10 spell check functionality appears to only work in Rich Text multiline boxes. Single Line or Plain Text multi-line text boxes don't support the spell check, which is causing some frustration.
I found this page that outlines how IE10's spell check engine works:
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/SpellChecking/
It specifies that: "Spellchecking is active by default on <textarea> and
contenteditable elements, and off by default for text boxes. Web developers can override the defaults using the <tt>spellcheck</tt> attribute."
I assume this means that it doesn't interpret the single line and plain text controls as textarea or contentditable elements.
So, any idea how to set the spellcheck attribute in InfoPath, or otherwise force this? Thanks!

Hi,
I understand that you want to enable spelling check in InfoPath browser enabled forms. You can add a Content Editor Web Part in your NewForm.
1. Right click the Add new item link in your list/library
2. Copy the URL and open it in a new tab
3. Add a Content Editor Web Part and add below JS code:
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/1033/SpellCheckEntirePage.js?rev=zYQ05cOj5Dk74UkTZzEIRw%3D%3D" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function CheckSpelling()
SpellCheckEntirePage('/_vti_bin/SpellCheck.asmx', '/_layouts/SpellChecker.aspx');
</script>
<a onclick="CheckSpelling();" href="javascript:"><img alt="Spell Check" src="_layouts/1033/images/RTE2SPCHK.GIF" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px"/></a>
4. When you click Add new item link, you can see a spell check button in your page.
Thanks,
Kenon Yin

Filtering a sharepoint 2010 list using Multiple values from Multi-Select Filtering In Infopath 2010 form

I am creating a browser based InfoPath 2010 form Calendar Filtering
using SharePoint 2010 Calendar List (All Events) and InfoPath 2010. This form has data connection to the Calendar list. Goal is to
compare Calendar Events from Current Year to Previous Year. I have 2 columns called - Previous Year and Current Year. I have 2 drop-down controls in each columns called
Select Year and Select Week. I also have common drop down called
Select Category which holds category of the events such as weather, power outages and so on. I wish to display specific events on specific date and specific week on both columns.
I am able to filter the list based upon Year and Week
on both these columns by applying rules in the InfoPath 2010 form. The real issue is that I want to apply category filter on the search result of
Year and Week. Or it needs to show all the values if I
select Category value as All. So I wish to apply filter on Search results using Category drop-down list selection.
Hope I could explain this better but I tried to do the best here. Any suggestions, hint, or pointers
Thanks

Hide/Show items in Multiple selection in InfoPath 2010 Form

I have an I an InfoPath 2010 browser enabled form with four sections. Inside each section is a checkbox and a textbox
What I need to do is, have a user select a desired items by checking the checkBox and the items that are not Checked are hiden. They can select (Checked) all the four CheckBoxes. I am using rules but can't seems to get this working. Any help will be appreciated.
Ebenezer

Ok, here is how you have to do , use expression as I mentioned in my previous post, and then use a condition like this
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(true()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(false()) and my:field6 = string(false())) or
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(false()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(true()) and my:field6 = string(false())) or
(../my:group1/my:field1 = string(false()) and ../my:group2/my:field4 = string(false()) and my:field6 = string(true()))
here I am checking for all three fields, if either of these is true then it will hide other section
Hope this helps!

Form connot be imported because ones or more errors occured-infopath 2010

when trying to import word documents (docx) in InfoPath I get "the form cannot be imported because one or more errors occurred" but there are no errors listed in the box.
what should I be checking to resolve

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.
Thanks,

before to push that data to an sql server.
Any suggestion , book reference , link is acceptable
thanks in advance
CRISTINA& MICROSOFT Forum

Hi Cristina,
Please check the following article with using web service UserProfileService.asmx to get the current user profile in InfoPath code behind and use the validating event to do some complex validation, it should help.

Could not verify the form template on the target server + infopath 2010

I am getting the could not verify the form template on the target server + infopath 2010
warning in the infopath form.
The design checker task pane I see a warning saying "Could not verify the form template on the specified server". I cannot find
anywhere in msdn or google addressing this warning. Inspite of this warning i tried to quick publish the form, and then i get an error saying: "The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened in the InfoPath Editor because it contains
feature that are not compatible with web browsers, to fix this problem, click close and review the errors in the Design Checker task pane"
Md. Tariq

Hi Tariq,
Please make sure:
SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features site collection feature has been activated.
Go to Form Options > Compatibility > Select the Form type as Web Browser Form.
Try to publish the form to the root site of the site collection as a content type.
If the problem still persists, please check whether there is any binding issue or logical issue. If the problem still cannot be solved, could you please try to create a new form and see how it works?
Here is a similar thread for your refer.

InfoPath 2010 - How to connect to another content type form from the current form with a click of a button?

I have two different form library forms for each different content type published to the same Form Library. I like to know if by a click of a button, if I could close the current form and jump to the next and vice versa? If so, what steps
would I need to take using OOB technology?
Thank you,
SRAEngineer

Hi Guru:
Thanks. However, the Views do not work in my case, as one form has different required fields than the other and set of fields also changes a bit for each form.
However, researching more I have been able to find the solution since I posted this request.
I will try to describe the Solution:
First I deployed both the forms to a SharePoint Form Library. Then I opened the template from the advanced settings and copied the URL from the top search box of IE.
Went back to the design view of the form, highlighted the writings/title of the form and right clicked to paste the hyperlink.
Quick published it again and now the hyperlink is working active/live in the deployed form as well and doing its job to get to the next form. I repeated the process to the other form to do a toggle.
Thank you for your input though.
Regards,
SRA

Getting Prompt for Credentials When Opening InfoPath 2010 Form in Sharepoint 2010

I have a domain user who runs Office 2010 x32 and uses a Sharepoint 2010 site daily. Lately a specific page on that site has been randomly giving prompts for credentials when opening existing documents and creating new ones. The process can be most easily
replicated by opening the new document template in Infopath by going to Documents -> New in the ribbon bar of the SP page. Most of the time the Windows credentials for the user are passed to Infopath/Sharepoint automatically (which is normal), but on the
fourth or fifth attempt to create a new form, the prompt appears. The user can still enter the credentials and open the blank template form, but a prompt should not appear. The user is also the administrator for that page, so I'm thinking it's not a permissions
issue.
The user is running IE 9 on Windows 7 Pro x64. I have performed the following:
Reset advanced IE settings and all user cache data
Cleared cached Sharepoint credentials in Windows credential manager
Re-applied group policy for the machine using gpupdate /force
Logged in with a clean temporary profile
Logged in to another domain account using the user's Sharepoint credentials
Cleared Infopath cache
Re-installed Office 2010 x32
The problem only occurs only on this particular machine. There are no Sharepoint or authentication-related errors or warnings in the application and system event logs. There are also no error messages on-screen when the prompt appears. I also considered
the possibility of this being a performance related issue in the case that maybe Infopath was taking too long to start, causing the credential pass-through process to time out and fall back to a prompt. I ran disk cleanup, deleted some temporary files, and
checked for excessive CPU/memory load. I didn't find any issues and doing these things did not help.
I'm convinced there is another setting somewhere in Windows that is causing this. Interestingly it always happens after four or five attempts, never the first time. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Titan, this sounds like an IE security setting issue. Things to do:
1. In Internet options>Security>Local Intranet, make sure "Enable Protected Mode" is not selected.
2. Under Sites>Advanced, add https://*.sharepoint.com (and make sure "Require server verification..." is not checked).
3. Under Security>Custom Level, scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure "Automatic logon with current user..." is checked.
