This question is about publishing infopath 2010 form to sharepoint server 2010.I designed a form and publish it to a sharepoint library successfully.When I try to fill the form and save it to sharepoint library,I am unable to do it? Can Some one say How to save the filled infopath form to a library in share point 2010?
Any help is appreciated?
To really work "the Sharepoint way" you need to use some things:
A forms library with your Infopath form set up as the form template. The forms library is already configured correctly, but just to make sure you need to set the InfoPath form to open in the browser (via the Forms Services and the Infopath webpart respectively) - to open the file in the browser is a setting on the forms library. Your form should not open with the Infopath Form filler.
The easiest way to test this is to open Infopath 2010 and to create a form based on the "Sharepoint Form Library" which sets up everything correctly for you.
In the save as dialog box of InfoPath filler, have you tried supplying:
http: <<SERVER_NAME>>/<<SITE>>..../<<FORM_LIBRARY NAME>>/<<FORM_NAME>>.xml

We're migrating a very complicated Infopath template from Sharepoint 2013 to Sharepoint Online. This template requires domain permissions and a lot of custom code, so a browser-enabled form is not possible.
In Sharepoint 2013, we share the template file (.xsn) which people can click on and it will open in InfoPath Form Filler, where they can do their work. Nobody actually submits the form, because the data is kept on a database.
In Sharepoint Online, the .xsn file will open in Designer view. This is an issue because the users are non-technical people and we don't want them to have to click through to preview or accidentally change something.
We've published the form in a Form Library, but when someone tries to create a new Form, it'll open correctly in InfoPath Filler Form, but give an XML error.
"The form contains XML that cannot be parsed: An invalid character was found in text content. Line 1, Position 5 MSCF"
When I check out the underlying template, I can Edit the Template, which again opens up InfoPath Designer with no issues.
I've also exported out the XML for the template and spot no XML errors and can open it in InfoPath designer, so I'm at a loss about how to debug the XML error.
So, we can go either route to resolve the issue:
1) Continue putting the template file on the Sharepoint folders and having users click on it and fill in data, but it must open in Filler Form, not Designer.
2) Fix the issue with the XML Form error (how do I go about even debugging this?) I've exported out the template as a .XML file, but can not spot any XML errors.
Thanks.
Your other option is to get rid of infopath and use a custom form using javascript in classic UI mode OR develop an SPFX webpart that achieve the same thing as your infopath ?
We've got an InfoPath floating around that was created in InfoPath 2010. It has been distributed to a handful of users through a SharePoint document library - unfortunately users with InfoPath 2007 aren't able to submit the form, or even open it. They receive the error message:
"The form template was created with a newer version of InfoPath.
This form template was created by InfoPath version 14.0.0."
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known procedure for converting .xsn files from version 14.0.0 to a version compatible with InfoPath 2007?
To open the form in InfoPath 2007, you will need to set the form's compatibility to InfoPath 2007. You can do so in the Form Options dialog. If you have used any newer features such as the People Picker, it may downgrade your user experience and force you to recreate some of these controls.
If you do not need some of the more advanced features of the InfoPath client, you may consider having your users access the form using the Web Browser interface. You can set this as the default open mode for the document library, or you can put "?OpenIn=Browser" in the URL when you open the form. See details on Microsoft's site about using query string parameters for Web-enabled forms.
I am trying to open my info path form(xsn) which is located in my company sharepoint website in my personal computer(out of my company network). when I tried to open in infopath I am getting this error.
InfoPath
Your user name cannot be verified because the form's security settings do not permit it.
Error occurred during a call to property or method 'get-UserName'.
You cannot open XSN form template on server (also to note that Infopath XSN template is used to generate Infopath data forms or Infopath webparts), since it is a packed archive of many files, you can only download it to local machine and open it in Design mode in Infopath Designer (by right-clicking on the .XSN file > choosing Design option or opening Infopath Designer and then xsn template). Also, you should have Infpath, as part of MS Office suite, installed locally.
Also, if you downloaded XSN template to your local computer, double-clicking on it really results in attempt to generate an Infopath .XML data form and to open it in Infopath Filler. This will obviously fail, if there are (remote, for example, on sharepoint server) data connection/sources to which you local user does not have permissions (and this also the case when your Infopath template is web enabled = enabled for running in browser throigh Sharepoint server Infopath Form Services). You should digitally sign and change the template's Security and Trust (< Form Options < Info < File on ribbon of Infopath Designer) to Full Trust in order to preview it in Filler (that is, to generate on the basis of юЧЫТ template an Infopath data form - which is an Infopath .XML data form, in case of sharepoint libraries, and open it in Infopath Filler, locally).
This is for template published to a sharepoint (document oк form) library. Conceptually, it is all the same is In case of Sharepoint List Form, taking into account that its .XSN template is directly connected to underlying sharepoint list and there are no (separate) Infopath XML data forms.

The ability to display InfoPath natively in a browser is part of InfoPath Forms Services, which is only provided bundled with MOSS Enterprise, not MOSS Standard or the free WSS.
Forms Server is available as a separate license altogether as well, but there's no other mechanism to display InfoPath forms in a browser without rolling your own solution, which would be a rather complex undertaking.
Did you publish the form to a forms library or did you simply upload it? In order for Forms Services to render a form it must be published using InfoPath's File>>Publish command.
I created an InfoPath form that uses VB code to push fields into a custom list I created on a SharePoint 2007 site. This part works.
I "published" the form into a form library.
I changed the settings on that form library to open items in the browser and allow editing of content types.
In InfoPath under Form Settings I chose the compatibility setting to allow this form to be opened in a browser, I linked to my Forms service online, and ran the design checker. No errors.
When I try to open it in the browser using the "Edit in Browser" setting I get this error message:
This form template is not currently
browser-enabled. It must either be
republished as a browser-enabled form,
or opened using Microsoft Office
InfoPath 2007.
No matter what I do, the form will not open in the browser. This is all I want. Did I miss something??
You need to upload your form thru Central Administration because you use code in your form. See this MSDN acticle.
