You may receive a "The connection file could not be accessed" error message when you try to open an InfoPath 2007 form
Consider the following scenario. You create a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 form template that uses connection settings that are stored in a Universal Data Connection (UDC) (.udcx) file. You publish the form to a forms library that is hosted on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services with Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007.
When another user tries to access the form from the form library, the user may receive the following error message:
The Internet address 'URL' is not valid
Additionally, the user may receive the following error message:
The connection file could not be accessed.
This issue occurs when a user who is not the owner or the creator of the UDC file tries to access the form and the UDC file remains checked out or is in a pending state.
To resolve this issue, make sure that you check in or approve the UDC file so that the connection file can be accessed.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
