InfoPath Dev

Hi all, I am currently publishing an infopath 2003 form to a shared drive on a network. The completed form gets completed by colleagues and then when they click a button on the form it is emailed as an attachment to me. The problem I'm having is that I can not open the attachments - I get an error message telling me that the form or template can not be found with a link to the users profile on the network. What do I need to do to get the forms emailed to me so I can open them to view. Thanks.

Hi Marylin,

Mel did a blog post on a technique that you should review: http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/mel_balsamo/archive/2009/05/18/using-e-mail-forms-to-communicate-with-external-users.aspx

I know you don't have SharePoint, but the same technique can be used for network forms. In summary, you have to install an email variant of the same form on your machine - that will allow you to open the emailed forms.

Read Mel's blog and if you can't figure it out in an 1-2 hours ,please email us.

Cheers,
