Ok - this 'should' be quite easy.... but it's not!
We have a couple of forms that we are busy putting into an electronic forms library. It's going well so far, but we hit a snag last week. Basically, I'm working on one type of form (A Purchase form) and my boss is working on holiday forms. I asked him to check out my PR form to see if he could make some changes, but the template wasn't enough... he also needed the code which I had forgot about! And of course, where is it saved??? Yep.... my hard drive on my laptop! So, I sent him the files when I got home... no problem.
However.... we decided this morning to save the template files to a central location, so that both of us can work on both form types without having to worry about where the code is for each one. So, we created a folder on our server called 'Forms' and then a folder for each form, one called PRForm and another called HolForm. I copied my template into the PRForm folder and then created another folder in here called FormData and copied my form data (Saved locally in this folder C:\Users\branchja\Documents\InfoPath Projects\Purchase Request\Purchase Request.vbproj) and then opened the form template from the network.... it works... but when I try to save it, it asks weher I want to save it too.
When i check the form options again (Advanced Options) it seems to have reverted back to the above folder on my C:\ drive, but created a new folder called Purchase Request1 ! I tried again and it created another folder called Purchase Request2..... so, my question is: Are you able to save the form template and data onto a server and then simply make changes as and when required? Or, do we have to it all locally?
Or, do we have to start from scratch and develop a new form, starting with a blank template on the network server?
Any help would be most appreciated!
