Sharepoint and UrlScan Tool don’t mix!

Today, after 3 weeks of (well deserved :-P ) holiday, I noticed that I couldn’t reach my custom developped SharePoint webservice anymore on a test-environment.

After searching some time, I discovered the MS UrlScan Security Tool had been installed which blocked all calls to the webservice and simply returned a 404 because the url contained a “.” character in the path to the webservice asmx.

You’ll find numerous posts online about difficulties with UrlScan and SharePoint installed together, just don’t mix them :-)

PointFire and InfoPath are no friends

Really, I spend the last 4 days searching why specific InfoPath 2007 web enabled forms would not work. When suddenly a colleague of mine decided to turn off PointFire translations on SharePoint, suddenly all forms work as they were designed to. Also the calender picker did it’s work.

The error I received was:
There has been an error while loading the form. A required resource could not be downloaded. To try to resume the download, refresh the page.

These issues should be fixed in the newest (V2) release of PointFire, but yet …

… a good lesson to keep in mind: When developing in SharePoint, try to switch off Pointfire once in a while. (And try to avoid InfoPath as much as possible in your solutions).

Didn’t know my doors should be closed for this one :-)
