Dynamic Data in Infopath 2007

Here's my dilemma.

I have an infopath form that I want ALL users to be able to access (wether
or not they have Infopath installed). I am using MOSS to publish the template
for this reason. The problem that I'm running into is that when I'm
dynamically generating the XML for the infopath form (another application), I
can't get it to see the online template in Sharepoint.

Has anyone else had an opportunity to do something similar?

Thanks,

Lou

Did you set the href attribute of the mso-InfoPathSolution processing
instruction to the URL of the published form template? I did something
similar:

I forgot to mention that some of the client machines will NOT have InfoPath
installed. I'll need to rely on the forms server (Sharepoint 2007) to display
the form. In this case, there is no association to open the dynamically
generated xml document... unless I'm missing something.

I cannot test this for you, so you'll have to test it yourself on one of
those PCs without InfoPath and let me know, but the theory goes that you can
open a form in IE if it is associated with a browser-enabled form template in
MOSS (no need to have the InfoPath client installed locally). So, open IE,
browse to the form (File > Open > Browse), and check whether it will display.

Alternatively, you can host the form in a Win or Web app (see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa701079.aspx and
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa701078.aspx).

I think I'm missing the point on what exactly you are trying to do.
