SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You use Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 to customize the NewForm.aspx page of a list in a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 site or in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site. Then, you connect to the list by using a Web browser. In this scenario, you experience the following symptoms:• If you click New to create a new item in the list, you receive the following message:
Invalid page URL:
• If you click an existing item in the list, you receive the following error message:
An unexpected error has occurred
Additionally, you might view the properties of the list in SharePoint Designer 2007 and then specify the NewForm.aspx page in the New item form box. When you do this, the NewForm.aspx page appears to be saved as the new item form when you click OK. However, the next time that you view the properties of the list, the New item form box is empty.
