IE9 Compatibility View bites again

In our MOSS2007, environment we've had issues in the past with users getting the "InfoPath could not submit the form" message. Our "fix" was to uncheck the "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View" on the Compatibility View Settings screen (see below).

However, since yesterday, I've been trying to resolve an issue where a user could open an InfoPath form from the Form library, but got an error message when she tried to open the same form from the workflow task library. Another user in the same office was not experiencing the issue. So we began to compare settings, looking at Add-ons thinking that was the problem. However, nothing we changed in the Manage Add-ons section worked.


In correcting an unrelated issue with PeopleSoft screens in the browser (items were overlapping each other), we noticed that the second user had "Display intranet site in Compatibility View".

So we went back to user 1 and checked "Display intranet site in Compatibility View". Then I had her try to submit an InfoPath form as she normally would. The Infopath could not submit the form message came up, after she hit cancel on the login prompt that appeared.

I had her try again to submit the form, only this time she logged in. No error message. Form submitted successfully, manager was able to view the form successfully. And the user can now view forms from the task library.

The only other thing that changed was that we set the local domain in the trusted sites list (leaving the full URL for the SharePoint site in the Local Intranet settings).

I do wonder though, why if the person is logged into the SharePoint site (AD account ...user logs in to Windows and is automatically logged into SharePoint when they connect) does the InfoPath form require the user to login before it can be submitted?

Always something new to learn and observe!

Happy SharePointing all!
