2.  Known issues

The list of known issues present in the current version.

• Limitation: a large amount of data can not be exported to XML/Excel in the Forms Data Viewer application. You need to divide all the data into parts and export the parts separately.
   
• Only MS Access database storage for the module's database is supported in this version. 
  
• There is no Save confirmation dialog in the Forms Editor.
  
• An unexpected error shown below occurs when using the forms editor. The reason is the site wasn't added to the trusted site list.
  
  

  The Solution: Add the Sitecore site to your trusted site list. 

  The reason is that only trusted sites are allowed to redirect requests from within a modal dialog in IE6. Thus, Sitecore must be a trusted site.
   

• The Export to Excel functionality is absent.
   

• The Validation in SaveToNarrowTable function may cause problems (changes may not be saved in the table; the refresh in the client causes resending of the information in a form).
  
• The SaveToNarrow table option doesn't save the information in the database if an incorrect file path is present in the File window (File field).
  
• The image in form is not rendered on the front-end.
   
• The Forms module requires the native Sitecore default device. If you remove it and create a new default device the module will not work properly.
  
• Attributes are not saved when a form is being saved in the Forms Editor if the mouse cursor is located on the attribute editor. The Solution: Exit the attribute editor before saving a form.
