I am having a problem with emailing InfoPath Forms. If I email them to
myself, they work just fine. If I email to the end user, they recieve the
form, but cannot enter the text in the form. The form is acting as if it is
"read only" which it is not. The "submit" button feature that I created in
the form is not showing up for them, but is viewable and active when I email
to myself. InfoPath 2007 and Outlook 2007 is being used by myself and
Outlook 2007 is being used by the end user. Any Ideas?

Does the user you are sending it to have InfoPath? That would be a requirement.

With InfoPath 2007 the reciever of the email does not need InfoPath 2007 on
their pc. The only requirement is to have Office 2007. At lease this is
what I am reading.

The end user needs either Office 2007 Enterprise, which includes InfoPath. Or
you need InfoPath Forms Services, which is included with MOSS 2007, which
will render the form on the server and they will use a web browser to
interact with it.

Those are your two options. If you want to have it in email then you would
need InfoPath. Otherwise they could use a hyperlink to bring it up in a
browser if you set up your backend.
