Hi all! Seeking help please... I am not a developer, nor an Infopath expert, but a just a curious user trying to optimize some manual processes at work... I created an Access database and an Infopath form that connects to it. The idea is that several users, from different locations, would fill out the form and feed the database (which I could then maintain and create some reports from).
The issue I have is that while I can connect and fill out the form, and the form correctly feeds the database (both are on a shared network drive that all have access to), it seems that the connection manager refers to my Home Drive's 'My Data Sources'? So, if other users try to submit, they receive errors (cannot connect to the data source), and therefore are unable to submit the data from the form...
If I ask my test user to modify and update the connection under the 'Manage Data Connection', then HE can connect and submit the Form, but now I cannot... Can someone please tell me how to configure the connection so several users can connect at the same time, and submit their data to the Access database without having to modify the connections all the time?
As I mentioned, the Form template and the Access database are on the network share drive;
1) the user clicks on the "Add document" link on the SharePoint Library
2) Infopath Filler opens up with the form I created
3) user can fill out the form and click on the 'Submit' button provided
4) 'Cannot connect to the data source' error message pops up
We all have Infopath 2010 and SharePoint is also 2010. Please help?
