    Document Lirbrary and InfoPath Forms

    This is a process I work on once a year. I wonder if this process was designed effectively. Not.

    I have a sharepoint site call ABC. Within ABC, we have employee1, employee2, employee3. Eash site holds it's own document library for each employee for each year of service. I created one template.xsn and for each employee, I change the data connection to submit the completed form to their document library and then I publish. Since I'm using the same template for all employees and their document libraries, I get the version control issue telling me this same template is created in a different document library already, replace or use the old one. In order for me to fix this versioning issue, I went into explorer, form, and edited the form id from the template. This was last year when I was running InfoPath 2007, 2003 and WSS 2.0.

     This year, the only thing that changed was WSS was upgraded to 3.0. My problem is: when I go into explorer to change the form id, the Form folder is missing (when I'm using Office 2003). If I'm in Office 2007, it's there but I can't edit the template.xsn file anymore without saving the copy (which I never had to do before).

    Is this the only way to develop a form to be used by everyone but I must have it saved and available for each user in their own document library so their direct supervisor can review this form.

    you can use a little bit of code in your infopath form, so that it decides the library to which the form is submitted at run time. then upload this form in through central admin and activate it to all the sites.

    you also have to set the doc libraries as content type to do so

    go to setting ->advanced settings and set content type as yes.

    and then add the content type to the form (xsn) you just loaded.

    this should resolve your problem
