MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2007Emailing infopath template for user to fill in with information
I have created a template on a server with drop down boxes and other text boxes which must be completed by the user. All users that have access to the server are able to work with the template just fine. If I email the template to the external users that are not able to see the server, after attempting to open the file attached in the email, they get an error message saying: Microsoft Office InfoPath Infopath cannot open the following file:xxxxxxxx.xml Info path cannot open the form. To fix this problem contact your system administrator. what does this mean? how can i get an external user to work with my template, add information to it and return it to me? thanks for your help! =) Hello Do you have any dataconnections which the emailed user cannot access?

You can open the XML file in Notepad and look at the ?mso-infoPathSolution processing instruction to see the URL that the form is currently referencing. For external users to open the form, you will need to publish the form template to a URL on a web server that is accessible externally, then use the same URL when you launch the template to fill out the form and mail it. Alternatively, you can create an installer package for the .xsn file and send it to your external users to install on their machines.
