InfoPath Dev

When I saved a site as a template and uploaded the template to another server and site all together, the 100 forms that was uploaded with the site template did not open. They are pointing to the incorrect place when I attempt to open them and showing blank. Any ideas.

I've read some where that InfoPath browser enabled forms do not work if you just save the site as a template and upload the template, you need to publish the form to the top level site collection. If I publish to the top level site collection, will this fix the 100 forms and allow them to point to the correct place and open up? Please help. 

 

i am not sure whether that will work, in the InfoPath form (xml). the location of the template is stored, so when you publish the form, the path stored in InfoPath forms wont change and they will still continue to point to the old location

 

So when I publish the form Template to the Top Level Site as a Content type and add that content to the site that was added as a template, the 100 already submitted forms will open correctly?

In your form library, you have the option to relink your forms to the template. The exact steps are different depending upon which version of WSS you are using, but this link to an InfoPath Team Blog post may help you.
