InfoPath Dev

Hi all,
I designed a template on my machine and I saved it on a shared resource. In my project the XML forms are sent to the users by email: so when I open a form and save it on my machine, the href attribute changes from the url of shared resource to the path of local copy of the template.
why does it happen?

Another question: which is the difference between save a template on a shared resource and publish it on a shared resource?
Thank u.

The reason it changes to the local copy is so that you can still view/edit the form when you are not connected to the network - this is a very key feature in InfoPath's functionality.

There's not much difference between saving and publishing, but I do know that publishing "finalizes" several things and updates URLs and URNs according to where you publish it, whereas saving leaves things in a "raw" state. I usually save locally when I'm designing a new template and then when everything is ready to go, publish to a shared resource.
