SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • In Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007, you create a browser-enabled form template that is set to submit data by using e-mail.

    Note To set a text box as a multiline text box, see the "More information" section.

  • The text that you type includes spaces.
In this scenario, you receive the following error message when you click Submit:
