I've been adjusting and changing the Custom List Form I created in the post Populating a 'Drop Down List' from a SharePoint List and I've run into an error. When I try to open the Web Part page with the Custom List Form in SharePoint Designer 2007 I get the following error;
The server could not complete your request.
Contact your Internet service provider or Web
server administrator to make sure that the
server has the FrontPage Server Extensions or
SharePoint Services installed.
For more specific information, click Details
button.
When I click the 'Details' button I get the following text;
soap:ServerServer was unable to process request. ---> An unexpected error occurred while opening this page. For assistance, contact your site administrator.
Now I think it has something to do with inserting the Custom List Form on the page and then going ahead and changing the List in SharePoint. For example I have changed some drop down menus to drop down menus with an area for the user to put their own value along with other changes to how the user can input data into the List.
Changing the highlighted area above has the following effect on the user input;
From
 |
| Drop Down |
To
 | |||
| Drop Down with optional value |
As you can see on top of the 'not being able to open the page' issue, I'm having an issue with populating the drop down list when I add an area for the user to specify their own value, but that for another post. I think the best thing to do is meticulously plan out how the user will enter their details and then create a custom list form. But I'm kind of tinkering around with inputs to make the application as user friendly as possible, so I think inputs will inevitably change.
Anyway the current solution for this problem is deleting the page and starting again. When I find a better solution I'll post it up.
