I have a workflow process which I am trying to build. The process is triggered by a sharepoint event using the Sharepoint Events Process.

I want to use an Infopath client event to allow users to approve a document.

When I add the infopath Client Event to the canvas, the wizard opens up. On the Workflow form Templates screen, I click "Add" to pop up the Infopath Form Source Location screen.
I choose Sharepoint Form library for located at
Sharepoint Site URL = "http://myportal/sitename"
Form LIbrary = "myforms" (I browse to select this)
Form Content Type = "Form" (again, I browse to select this)

I then click Next, but I get an error message next to the Sharepoint Site URL box which reads "The file is not an infopath form template file. The file must have an extension of '.xsn'"

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.


PS. If i click Test next to the Sharepoint Site URL, the connection succeeds.

I think I have sorted this out - I hadn't deployed a template to the location. Once I published a template to the sharepoint library it seems to work ok.
