session cookies must be allowed

I get the error

"The form cannot be displayed in the browser because the use of session cookies has been disabled in the current browser settings. In order to load the form, session cookies must be allowed"

when trying to connect to some Sharepoint 2007 infopath pages which are in the Local Intranet Zone.

Path: WrkTaskIP.aspx ID=2&List=87365a5d-e84f-42fb-9244-28abe8dfbee9&_InfoPath_Sentinel=1

According to Microsoft all cookies are automatically accepted from Web sites in the Local Intranet zone. So why am I getting this error. However I changed my IE privacy setting to "always allow session cookies" but still get the same error which isn't suprising as the privacy settings affect the Internet zone.

Does anyone know why I get this session cookie error when trying to access InfoPath Sharepoint 2007 pages

    I am also having this problem on my public-facing Internet site. Only, it's sporadic. Sometimes the form comes up fine. Most times however, I get the error message.

    Why is InfoPath trying to use cookies anyway. I want browsers to see my form without having to allow cookies.

    I have found such a suggestion here:

    http://www.venkat.org/index.php/2007/03/11/session-cookies-and-_-underscores-in-sharepoint/

    It says:

    "...browsers (only IE works great in Firefox) does not accept cookies if a host name contains the underscore character “_” ..."

    It is working ok when you the name for your application from e.g. infopath_123.firm.com to infopath123.firm.com

    It worked for me!

    Good luck!
