MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / May 2008How to open InfoPath 2007 From in Web-browser
I am new to Info path. I have created form in info path 2007. Now i want to send this form to users so that can fill it up and send back to me. that user does not have info path installed. I have tried to follow some steps given in Microsoft website like i published that form to share point and from there i tried to send users. but still there are not able to open and fill up the form. Do i need to code anything? if so then how can i do that? Could you please tell me the steps to open the form in internet explorer or any web -browser. Thanks!! Do you have MOSS2007 or InfoPath Forms Server? That is required besides just SharePoint to host forms in the browser  SignatureClay Fox / Microsoft InfoPath MVP www.InfoPathDev.com / The InfoPath Authority / Downloads, Samples, How-To, Experts, Forum > I am new to Info path.

You should just send them the URL hyperlink where it is published in MOSS. Unless you specify it will open in InfoPath if they have it on their computer instead of in IE. A completed form should submit to a document library and the user would open it from there.

User does not have access to the published template on MOSS as user is not inside the company, user is outsider, neither user has info path installed nor MOSS 2007. and the only source to send the form to user is via email. so in this case if i want to send info path form, how can user open in Internet Explorer? or what do i need to set up in order to open the form in user's web-browser.?

Hello, The only way your user can access the InfoPath form is as Clay has said either: 1. Have the Microsoft InfoPath windows client installed on their machine; or 2. Be able to access your Sharepoint site externally Since you said you have SharePoint, you would need to allow your external users access to your SharePoint site.

Thanks All for your help . As i don't think so that it would be possible to give users access to MOSS. is there any other application of Microsoft which you can use to create a form and has similar features like Info path mainly data validation. Can Microsoft Publisher 2007 has capability to create a form?

Hello, There is nothing really similar to InfoPath that Microsoft offers as a product. You would need to develop your own from scratch using ASP.NET or something like that. Gavin.
