Thank you for looking, I am having all sorts of security and permission issues.

What I would like to do is create a form in InfoPath 2003 that can be
emailed (.xsn format).  The user receives the form, fills it out and submits
it.  When the form is submitted I want it to publish the .xml data to a
sharepoint site.

Unfortunately what is happening is I can get the data to submit to a
sharepoint site, but I can't send the .xsn file.  I can send the form without
a data connection to the sharepoint site, so how do I make it so I can email
teh .xsn file but still have that connection to sharepoint?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi John

You can have more than one submit if you use rules and specifiy each.

Do the email users (everyone) have access to Sharepoint and the published
location of the template?

Sorry that it took so long to reply.  Yes, everyone has access to the
Sharepoint site.  In fact I have my desktop and laptop running, I am logged
into the corporate system using the same ID and I can only open the form with
the desktop, where it was created.  I get permission errors when I try and
open it on the laptop.  The biggest thing is this is going to be an attempted
process change where only internal users will be acessing the form, but if
they get permission errors, even once, they will most likely abandon the
process and revert to the old email method of just sending in random
comments.  Thank you so much for your replay and again I apologize for the
delay in my response.

It sounds like you are not publishing the template properly.
Are you using the publish wizard to place the template where all the
intended users have access?
Also you need to specify the URL or UNC they will use to access it with.

If this is been done then you need to make sure they can get to that
location and open a new form.

Where would I go to verify that I specified the URL or UNC?  I am using the
publishing wizard and everything works well on 1 computer but not the second.
Thank you again for your assistance.  Would it help if I posted images of
the messages that appear?
