    Simutaniously allow multiple users read-write access at one given time

    I'd like mutliple users be able to read/write the xml file simutaniously. Is there any way to do that? Right now, when one person is in the form as read write, another user logging into it will get the "read only" error message. Can we manipulate this somehow? Hude project dependant on this right now. Any help will be very much appreciated!

    Hi and welcome to the InfoPath Dev forums.

    Why do you need this functionality exactly?

    If you allow this scenario than the last person to edit the form will overwrite all other changes.  Since the user is opening an XML file when they save it or submit it the entire XML will be overwritten which will result in data loss.

    multiple users can open(for read/write) the same form in browser with out getting any message. and if userA and userB open the form, then make changes and userA saves, then userB tries to save, he will get a message that the form has changed...

    but i wont recommend using this.
