MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2008Error in connecting to data source
Hello. I'm trying to access a data connection via InfoPath and receive the following messaage: "InfoPath cannot connect to the data source. Safety settings on this computer prohibit accessing a data source on another domain." Can somebody please advise how to resolve this issue, and be specifi if possible. Not that we don't have Sharepoint. Thank you. NWO :) InfoPath relies on IE for trust and security. Check your settings for the site and cross domain in general. Site should be in intranet or trusted zone.

What do you mean by "site". We have InfoPath installed on our C: drives, and wish to have about 200 peoiple open an InfoPath form, enter data (overtime data), and we want this data to populate a table in the background so we can run queries against it for reporting, etc.. Please expand on what you mean by "site" if you would please. Do you mean our Intranet home page site? Thank You. NWO :) > InfoPath relies on IE for trust and security.

Is the dataconnection to the database the issue? Are you using Access or SQL?

Yes. 2. Based on the error message, I'm not sure, but be advised that we are connected to a corporate network so there is a possibility that network permissions may be an issue, but based on the generality of the message, I can't tell. 3. Access 2003. Note that the same implementation works fine on a standalone computer in that no error measage is recevied and connectivity to the database is accomplised. Your response is always appreciated. Mark :) > So is this a form built around a database? > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > > > > > > > NWO :) Hey Mark. I would guess it is network permissions to your Access database. Another trap can be how you connected to the database when setting up the data connection. You should use the UNC path \\server\share\access.mdb If you use a map drive then they might not have that same mapping.

Enjoy your weekend. NWO :) > Hey Mark. > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > NWO :) Clay I have the same problem to what Mark has described, and have verified that my data connection is the way you described. However, the problem still persists. I also have to note that when I started developing the form, it worked fine, but once I saved it in another location for testing it amongst users, it started to give that message. Any idea on what I should still be looking at? > Hey Mark. > [quoted text clipped - 60 lines] > > > > > > > > > > > > NWO :) |
