MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / July 2004.mht file format
Hey, I was reading Roger Jenning's book on Microsoft infopath and came across the .mht file. He stated that you can export your infopath fom as a .mht file to create a static view of the from. My question is does that mean users without infopath installed on thier machine can fill in the form? If not what is the purpose of this format?

You can use it to save your form to HTML, which enables users without Infopath installed to read/review the form. Regards  SignatureThomas Wenzl [MVP for Live Communications Server] Share what you know, learn what you don't! (Deja/Google) Even users with InfoPath can't fill out the .mht representation of a form. It's an HTML-only "picture" of a form, which is what I meant by "static." --rj > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Regards We use the MHT as a static record of what was completed in an infioPath form If you email an infopath form, the user can amend the data (if they have infoPath) whereas if you email an MHT file, they can only use Internet Explorer 4 and above to bring up a static view of what was captured on the form.... Useful for emailing clients etc official copies of completed documents (with signatures) .................... but a user still needs InfoPath to complete/change a form. In general it's like saying you need Excel to create or change a spreadsheet I hope this helps Robin > Even users with InfoPath can't fill out the .mht representation of a form. > It's an HTML-only "picture" of a form, which is what I meant by "static."
