The intiation form is not opening

Asked by bcombe in Infopath, MOSS-Sharepoint

I have simple "Task workflow" with a initiation form and  amodification form.  I followed everything in the following URLs: http://weblog.vb-tech.com/nick/archive/2007/02/25/2207.aspx

No problem in creating the workflow in VS 2005 & the infopath forms.  No error in building the workflow & deploying it on the sharepoint server.  The workflow appears in the list of workflows in the sharepoint site.  I created a forms library, in its workflow settings i added this workflow to that lib with the "Start this workflow when a new item is created" option checked.  Now when i click the new in the library, a window pops asking to browse the form to open; if select initiationform.xsn using the browse, it is giving me an error saying "Infopath can not open a new, blank form.  The form contains schema validation errors".

Now i am confused, why it is asking the user to browse the form template?  When you deploy a workflow isn't that supposed to copy the *.xsn to the appropriate location from where it can access?  What did I miss from the steps specified in those articles.  I didn't change the schema file after I saved the IP form as a sourcefile & run the xsn.exe on that to create the class file.  I appreciate if someone clarify me about all  these / point me to a good article. Thanks.Start Free Trial
