    While opening the form, the error "InfoPath cannot create a new, blank form. Unspecified error."

    Can anyone shed some light on what may be causing this?  I was working on the form on hour and it was working great.  I return to work on the form in design mode after a couple of hours and make some routine changes.  Changes like, font color, shading, basic conditional formatting of sections based upon values in option/check boxes, cut & pasting of tables. 

    Generally, I can figure out what to do after an error, but this may be the least helpful of all error messages.  Especially, when I didn't do anything (at least I feel that way) out of the ordinary. 

    I am running InfoPath 2003 SP3 on a Windows XP SP2 running MS Office 2003 Professional.  The form has a primary data connection to a sql server 2005 table and 3 secondary data connections to sql tables.  Again, the form was working nicely for weeks and all of a sudden I am getting this not so informative error. 

    Anyone know anything?

    I tried the MS recommended fix regarding the Language Setting thing....no luck. 

    I can open it up via design mode, but I can't preview it cause of this error. 

     

    Thanks to whomever knows the answer.

    I would try to republish it.

     

    Another trick is to extract the source files.

    Then in the source files right click on the manifest and select design. This will recompile the form and should fix any corruption, etc.

    Hi,

    Some times because of the cache also this error occurs. Once clear the cache and try.
