Newbie question. We store all our forms on a network share, sort of our
Infopath code repository. Then, to distribute them, I use the Publish wizard
in InfoPath.
I've published one of my forms to an IIS webserver. When the client opens
the form, they get a warning from InfoPath about "Form Conflict" syaing the
form you are opening has the same form ID as a form already on this computer.
The form on your computer points to the one on the fileshare, while the
conflicting form points to the one on IIS.

Is there a way around this that enables us to keep a forms repository but
still publish out to other fileshares or webservers? Thanks!

This would mean they have opened a form from both locations and should not be
a big deal.

If you open InfoPath it will show the forms they have opened recently.

Use the selection on the right to remove the forms and then reopen and a new
copy will be loaded.
