MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2007xsn and moved / deleted templates
We use IP 2003 and as a result, we email a lot of .xsn files around for processing. We discovered an issue and not sure how to plan for it. We store the final xsn files in a library (some in SP, some in network drives and some in a file storage system). The original templates are all in a forms library in SP 2003. If the template every gets moved in the forms library or deleted as no longer used, the older forms can no longer be opened. Since we know we will eventually move to SP 2007 and IP 2007, our SP structure will change. How can we ensure that our current forms are able to be opened and viewed over time? Thanks Have you already seen this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2006/11/01/relinking-forms-and-form-templ ates.aspx Tip: If you want to keep being able to open forms in InfoPath, NEVER delete the form template. --- S.Y.M.

Let us know how it goes if you do try it out, since I've just briefly tested it and found out that it does not work for administrator-approved form templates in 2007. --- S.Y.M.
