Hi, InfoPath gets its security settings from your browser settings. I think
this could be fixed by doing the following in IE:
1. select tools, intrernet options
2. choose security
3. choose local internet, then choose custom level button
4. scroll down to the section titled Miscellaneous
5. For "Access data sources across domains", select "Enabled:
6. Select OK
If this does not work, it may be possible your employer has locked down
certain security features on the PC, possibly via the Windows Registry.
