Save and Close buttons disabled in Infopath form

Question

I am converting a large MS Word document manually into an Infopath form in Sharepoint 2010. After adding about 100 rows of text, I see that the Save and Close buttons are disabled on the Edit menu/Commit group ribbon. What is happening? Why is it happening? And how can I work around this problem? Thanks!

Answer 1

Follow these steps to make your buttons work again:

• Go to the tab named "DATA"
• Now click on "Submit Options"
• Select the option "allow users to submit this form".
• Select from the pull down menu "SharePoint List". Then you will see the grey "save button"

These steps worked for me :)
