MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2006Sharing forms
Perhaps an obvious/stupid question, but here goes. I have created a form and I am trying to email it to someone and they cannot open it. She can e-mail a sample form from the Infopath library and I can open that form but anything I have created and send to her, does not work. I suspect that it's because we do not share a server. I have been successful in sending the form in the body of the e-mail but we need to share the form and both users need to be able to fill the form out. Any help would be much appreciated. If this program is not what we should be using can anyone suggest a program that will allow me to create a form with the same data fields etc. as Infopath, that can be shared and filled and can be used on a PC without a shared server. Signed, IT Dummy Does the other person have InfoPath installed on her machine...InfoPath forms are useless to those without the software.

When I send her a copy of the new form she gets an error saying that it cannot find the template for the form then it list my file path. Could it be that we have not installed the software correctly?

You say you are not on the same server, so if the template (.xsn) is on a network share on your server and you send the form (.xml), then it won't work. The solution would be to publish the template to an internet location you both can see. Also workable, but a pain in the butt would be to send her the template, but then you would have to edit the form xml by hand to change the location where it is looking for the template.

But in case if you have published to a Folder on the Machine the Relink doesnt happen to the XMl with the Template.So the XML file doesnt open. I can suggest you to use the add in tool for InfoPath at the link below http://www.qdabra.com/proddetail.asp?prod=QModifyPI Hope this helps you.
