Hi alll I was having problem in piblishing InfoPath form to the SharePoint site. when I tryed to publish InfoPath form through InfoPath Publishing Wizard I got following error. The following URL is not valid: http://servername:portnumber/sites/sitename I searched over the internet abd dint not find any satisfying answer but figured out that most of the people are talking about creating site at root level means: http://servername:portnumber/ I creted site at this level and then try again this time InfoPath Publishing Wizard validate the site successfull. I resume my task and get it done. But I am still unable to understand why I need to create site at root level when I dont want to create it because of my desing? Does any body have Idea why this happens? Any help in this reguards will bw heighly appreciated. Regards Ali Raza

Hi Ali In this situation publish your infopath form as content type and used across the site. So that wherever you need to call this form you just call this content type in form library. Hope this will help you.
