Thank you Jo-Anne,The Weird thing is I already selected #2: Send the form data as an attachment. And I don't feel difference check or uncheck the little checkbox, Attach the form template to ensure that users can open the form.The whole form always shows up in the message box in outlook email.

Hi, snow:

When you say "the form attachment always open up automatically in the message box", I imagined that what you meant to say is the form's active view being displayed in the body of the email. When creating an email data connection in the InfoPath's data connection wizard, there are two options:

1. Send only the active view of the form and no attachment.

2. Send the form data as an attachment.

You've probably selected #1. Try modifying the data connection and select #2. It should send the form as an attachment.

I remember we can send out form through email as attachment, same as word document. but can not recall how to do that...

now the form attachment always open up automatically in the messagebox.

we don't want the form auto open in the mail box. any one knows how to avoid this?

Thank you!
