MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2004opening an InfoPath form from another InfoPath form
I want to create an InfoPath form that has buttons that will open other InfoPath forms that I have created. I know there is the 'rules' for buttons and actions that you can associate with the rules "open a new form to fill out" but when I put in the form name that I want to open or put in the address for the form library on SharePoint it blows up. I am using SP1 and Sharepoint 2003. Thank you, Nick Nick: The address to the form library should be of the following format: http://<server>/sites/<SiteName>/<FormLibraryName>/Forms/template.xsn and then what you're doing *should* work. If that doesn't resolve the issue, you may want to provide more info on what precisely happens when it "blows up". Are you getting an error message?

The first 2 say that infopath could not open the form and the next gives me the following details InfoPath cannot create a new, blank form. InfoPath cannot open the form. To fix this problem, contact your system administrator. Form template: http://isportal/sites/testsite/Forms/Company%20Department%20Desktop%20Template%20Assigner/Forms/template The following form template for the form cannot be found: http://isportal/sites/testsite/Forms/Company%20Department%20Desktop%20Template%20Assigner/Forms/template THe form does open directly but when called by the button. Any ideas? did you type in the full file extension ".xsn" after the template? > Hi Michelle, > Yes I get error messages.

Any ideas? Hi Michelle, Wow, you're so quick on the draw! :) I responded too but when I refreshed, I saw your post instead and it was exactly what I was thinking! :D Patrick > Nick: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thank you, > > Nick Hi Nick, I tried this using a form on my local SharePoint site: 1. I created a new form. 2. Added a button. 3. Double clicked on button and clicked rules. 4. Clicked Add 5. Selected Open a New Form to Fill Out 6. Typed in http://localhost/.../Forms/template.xsn 7. Clicked OK to close open dialogs. 8. Previewed form. 9. Clicked on button. And, it worked. Did you specify the complete path to the template.xsn in your SharePoint form library's Forms directory? > I want to create an InfoPath form that has buttons that will open other > InfoPath forms that I have created.
