But Does It Work for SharePoint / WSS /MOSS related issues

I was trying to publish an InfoPath form to a new site and it just wouldn't work.

 

I kept getting a dialog that read:

     "Microsoft Office InfoPath:

 

                 The following url is not valid"

 

This is what I found:

 

I did not have a Site Collection at the top level:

 

My only site collection was:  http://mossdevmem1:4987/sites/workflow/

 

Turns out you need a Site Collection to exist without the sites term.

 

You do not need to use it, but it must exist.  So I created a Site Collection:
(http://mossdevmem1:4987/default.aspx).

 

NOTE: I do not use this site collection, but the mere existance of it, allows me to publish forms to the original site collection!

Site collection? I cant use one site for over a month (facebook aside), therefor I cant see there much help by it.
