Hi,

Recently, I've been involved in migrating InfoPath web browser 2007 electronic forms to a SharePoint 2010 forms server.

Although, most of the forms work "as is", I lost a bit of time on a specific form since I kept getting the following error:


Value does not fall within the expected range.. Type: System.ArgumentException. StackTrace:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPWeb.GetFile(String strUrl)
at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.SolutionLifetime.DataAdapterSharepointListQuery.<>c__DisplayClass23.b__1f(Boolean differentIdentity)
at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.SolutionLifetime.DataAdapterUtil.Impersonate(DataAdapterInformation adapterInfo, String userName,
String userDomain, String password, CodeToRunUnderImpersonation codeToRun)
at Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.SolutionLifetime.DataAdapterUtil.Impersonate(
DataAdapterInformation adapterInfo, String userName, String password, CodeToRunUnderImpersonation codeToRun)

Usually, this error tends to indicate that something points to a non-existing object so I first inspected the content type, the list fields etc...but everything was ok. After a while, I noticed that the problem was caused by a secondary data connection on the list to which the form was deployed with the option Include data for the active form only. This enables the form to retrieve list fields that do not especially belong to the main datasource.

So, I noticed that preventing this connection from triggering "fixed" the problem but of course, I needed this connection. It turned out that I had to convert this connection using the button Convert to current version.

Before doing that, I also needed to convert the entire form to the current version. I didn't realize it was needed since all my other forms were working fine...

After that, just to confirm that this can be a problem, I created a new blank form, made a secondary connection with the option to include data only for the active form, I converted it to previous version, published the form and indeed, the error got thrown again.

Morality, this might sound obvious but I lost a few hours trying to figure out what was the culprit and google/bing didn't help me much. I just saw that convert button by chance and suddenly everything became clear :).

Hope this helps!

Happy Coding!
