Hello,
I have created a custom document content type that uses a specified word template for a sharepoint document library for contracts and offers, and added a few custom columns in the document library as well. The word template launches succesfully when creating a new item in the document library, but the problem arises when I add custom columns to the word template content type. When the document loads in Word, I get the following error: "The Document Information Panel was unable to load. The document will continue to open. For more information, contact your system administrator." And in details:
"Document Information Panel cannot create a new, blank form.
Document Information Panel cannot open the form. To fix this problem, contact your system administrator.
Form template: http://servername/sitename/proppanel.xsn
The following DataObject either cannot be created or cannot be initialized: list_033AA217-8906-447E-A604-A300F51D4030
Document Information Panel cannot add the following object to the DataObjects collection: list_033AA217-8906-447E-A604-A300F51D4030
list_033AA217-8906-447E-A604-A300F51D4030 could not be added to the DataObjects collection.
The following item already exists in the collection: list_033AA217-8906-447E-A604-A300F51D4030"
Interestingly enough, I have two web applications running on the same server that I have tried to implement this on, and on the other it works flawlessly, meaning that the Document Information Panel launches successfully and I can edit the columns associated with that content type and store the values in a document library. I have also tried to save the DIP template from the working web application and use it as the default DIP template on the other application, but that doesn't work either.
I have also tried to browse through all options and configurations in the application settings in CA and SSP, but to no avail. Any suggestions about what might be causing this problem or how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
