    Users who do not have access to SharePoint cannot open Infopath form I have emailed them

    What I want to do:  I have a infopath form that I want students (who do not have acces to the staff intranet) to open and fill out.  They will then email thier supervisor who checks and submits the form to the intranet site (which the supervisor has access to).

    The Problem:  As I have a the submit to sharepoint data connection, when I email this form to anyone, regardless of whether they have access to the sharepoint site or not, no one can open this.  The error message is:

    "This form cannot be opened because it requires the domain permission level and it currently has restricted permission.  Contact the author to resolve the issue."  Show details provides "Forms that require the domain permission level contain features that access information on a network, such as data connections, linked images, and code."

     Is it possible to have people fill out the form who do not have access to the Sharepoint Site, but allow the form to be emailed to another user who does have access to this site and so can submit the form.

    Any help with this problem would be most appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Hi-

    Take a look at this blog post.

    http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/mel_balsamo/archive/2009/05/18/using-e-mail-forms-to-communicate-with-external-users.aspx

    I think it might be exactly what you're trying to accomplish.

    Good luck!
