We have a MOSS 2007 site running that has InfoPath forms (created in InfoPath 2007 and/or InfoPath 2010) with workflows created in SharePoint Designer 2010. We’re are preparing for an upgrade to SharePoint 2013. In preparation for that, we’ve been installing Office 2013 on users’s desktops.
We’ve begun to see intermittent issues with people not being able to submit forms from InfoPath 2013. Not all users experience the issues.
Those who do experience it get the same messages:
InfoPath cannot submit the form.
Some rules were not applied. InfoPath cannot submit the form. An error occurred while the form was being submitted. The form cannot be submitted to the following location: https://URL (Full URL is listed correctly) The site may be offline, read-only, or otherwise unavailable. The parameter is incorrect.
For those who have this error appear, they are running Windows 7, IE 8 or 9, and have the SharePoint URL set as the local intranet site in their browser.
Of the forms, we have 5 of the 7 are browser-enabled forms and submit without issue if the user accesses SharePoint from Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer. While we’ll be redesigning all of the forms as part of the upgrade process, we need for people to be able to continue processing purchase reqs, time sheets etc, over the next 3-4 months.
Has anyone seen this issue or have any suggestions of how I track down the problem and provide a temporary solution?
Not that I have seen… but let me go take a closer look at the logs, Thanks, Trevor.
Are there any additional errors in the ULS or the Application and Services Logs -> Microsoft -> SharePoint Products -> Shared -> Operational event log?
Hi, I am no infopath expert, but here is what I found on the web:
“An update on the issue presented above. After many long and frustrating hours of working with this issue, I finally got a response from Microsoft.Â
InfoPath is designed to do a checkout/checkin on a form after it has been submitted. I have no idea why. According to Microsoft, there is no fix or workaround to this issue. If you are submitting an InfoPath form, the user must have edit permissions if you do not want to receive the error!
So, if you must customize permissions to submit only, but not edit, InfoPath is not a good solution to use.”
