Is it possible to automatically open the form in a different view when
a user is opening that form as an email attachment?

In other words, User 1 fills out a form with the default view. The user
clicks the Submit button which is configured to submit the form as an
email attachment. When User 2 receives the email attachment is it
possible to have the form open up automatically in a consolidated view
when he opens the attachment?

Thank You!

Hi,

Under the form options --> Open and Save --> Open behavior --> Rules, add a
rule with a SwitchView Action.
Add a condition that matches if the form has already been filled out.

Henning,

You are absolutly correct on this. However, have you had this working for 2
different views. What this means is that you defined two Opens and Save rules
for openning two different views with the current user role being the same
and a condition that distinguish between the two, so that when the defined
user open the each of the email attachment, infopath knows which form to open.

Techniquely, this should work. However, I tried it so many times and wasted
so many hours on this and it still doesn't work. It works if the two views
are defined for two different user roles.

Please elaborate be on this. I realy need an answer.

Thanks millions!
