I created a form using InfoPath 07 but saved it in the 03 format. The form
is published to a network drive that is accessed via a web link. The form is
setup so it emails the results to different clients and puts the form results
in the body of the email.

Here is the problem I'm running into. When a user who has Office 03
installed fills out and submits the form, the form results are not getting
put into the body of the email. The email puts contains the header but not
the form in the body. If a user who has Office 07 installed fills out the
form and submits it, the form is getting put into the body. I'm confused as
to why this is happening.

Any direction or suggestion on this would be most helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hey Brandon.

When creating the email submit data connection, you have the choice of
embedding the form view or attaching the form. If you are in a mixed
environment you probably want to attach the form or put a hyper link in the
email so that Outlook 2003 users can easily open the form. 2003 did not have
the functionality to embed the form view into the email nor does it have the
abiltiy to render the view in Outlook.
