Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  Consider the following scenario:  You enable the Open in the browser setting in an InfoPath Forms Server. You create a form that can be opened in a browser or in InfoPath 2007. You save the form to a document library on the InfoPath Forms Server. You click the hyperlink to the form in the document library.

In this scenario, the form opens in InfoPath and not in a browser. Consider the following scenario:  You create a browser-enabled form and then add a file attachment control to the form.</li> You publish the form to a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 document library with or without using InfoPath Forms Server.</li> You upload documents that have file names that use DBCS characters, such as Korean or Chinese characters.</li> You double-click one of the files to download the file by using Internet Explorer.</li></ul>

In this scenario, the file name is scrambled. Additionally, the file cannot be opened unless you replace the file name extension with the correct file name extension for the file type, such as &quot;.doc&quot; for a Microsoft Word document or &quot;.xls&quot; for a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file.</li> You complete an InfoPath 2007 form and then save the resulting .xml file to a SharePoint Server document library. Then, you try to open the .xml file in a browser. When you do this, you may receive the following error message:

This form template is not currently browser-enabled. It must either be republished as a browser-enabled form, or opened using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.

This issue occurs if one of the following conditions is true:  The form was saved by using a fully qualified domain name to a SharePoint Server document library that has Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) functionality enabled. Then, you used NetBIOS or the URL of the file location to open the file.</li> The form was saved by using NetBIOS to a SharePoint Server document library that has AAM functionality enabled. Then, you used the fully qualified domain name of the file location to open the file.</li></ul> </li> When you try to open a form in a browser, you may receive a parsing error.

This issue occurs when the CharSet header for the form is not sent to the InfoPath Forms Server when the call to open the form is sent to a Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) Web service. When this occurs, the InfoPath Forms Server uses UTF-8 character encoding to try to read the form. If the form does not use UTF-8 encoding, the parsing error occurs.</li></ul>
