Published InfoPath Form Not Appearing in SharePoint
Mercedes,
In the IP form, in the form settings, if you go to the Compatibility category and check if it is set for Web Browser form? And when you walked through the publish wizard, you checked the box allow this form to be filled out on the web? When it doesn't work, do you mean if you go to your library and say new document, what happens? It doesn't open your web form? It should have updated the content type in the library with the form template, and show the IP icon on the new dropdown.
I just tested this by creating a form library, opening IP Designer and creating a library form, creating submit data connection and publishing to the forms library. It opens fine in the browser. And no I don't believe it should take 24 hours to show. It sounds like it's not getting fully wired into the content type of the library, or the form isn't truly a web form.
I think I just may be confused on exactly what publishing a form to Sharepoint is? I assumed if I created a form then published it, the user would see the "form" ie the Form Name that they could click on, the form opens in a browser and they fill it out. I foresee many forms listed in this form library that I could then either use folders or Content Types to filter, however, I can't even get one to show.
After I've published it, the "form" file does not show in my library. If I go to New > Form it then opens the form I published, which doesn't make sense. I"m not creating a new form I want to fill in the one I published.
As well, if I uploaded a bunch of test ones, where are they listed so I can delete them?
