MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / March 2007Infopath 2007:Browser view in Forms server can not submit to data
We are evaluating the InfoPath 2007 Beta 2 together with Forms server 2007. Generally I feel that the new release is a major step forward and the touch, feel and speed of InfoPath is greatly improved. We did note, however, that Forms can not submit to a data base if viewed in a browser. This seems a severe limitation from our viewpoint. Is this planned for a future release of forms server 2007? Is there a work around using data connections? Thanks IT PHYTOSAN > We are evaluating the InfoPath 2007 Beta 2 together with Forms server > 2007.

Submit the infopath data to webservice and let the webservice update the database. -- Madhur Ahuja http://madhurahuja.blogspot.com Thanks for your note. I am really struggling with that limitation. I am not clever enough for web services (yet) regards IT PHYTOSAN > > We are evaluating the InfoPath 2007 Beta 2 together with Forms server > > 2007.

The submission to database by infopath is governed by several condition which I wont discuss here.. Those conditions may not be fulfilled by your case, so it will be better to go for web service. Hope this helps. -- Madhur Ahuja http://madhurahuja.blogspot.com Are there any basic tutorial that you are aware of? Thanks IT PHYTOSAN > > Thanks for your note.

The web service method recieves XmlDocument object as a parameter. You have to extract form data from its nodes. Once you have the info , you can submit it to database.

IT PHYTOSAN > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > > > > > http://madhurahuja.blogspot.com By the way have you played with converting the data base connection the form is based on into a data connection stored on a connection library? Will this help with being able to submit the form?

I hope they fix that on one of the next releases.
