Did
you ever made a custom workflow for Moss 2007 with Microsoft Infopath and Visual Studio
2005 and needed an association and initiation form? I
created my forms in Infopath and when I installed the workflow in moss I manually
connected the workflow to my library. The
association form showed just like planned. The
next step was adding a document to my library so I would see the initiation form:
so far, no good. The initiation form
didn’t show, instead I had an error telling me my xsd wasn’t valid. Although
I did publish my form and saved the source files I didn’t know what went wrong. Here’s
the clue: apparently the xsd of both association and initiation forms has to be the
same. Know the easiest way to do that:
create your association form and in the DataSource you have to put all your elements. Then
when your association form is created and saved, just do a “save as” for the initiation
form. Both
xsd’s will be the same and your forms will be shown!
