If that same exact template works fine on another site, then it is probably not the template. Open the form library that isn't working and change the view to "Relink Documents". There sure be a link under Template, verify that the link goes to the correct document and that you can access it.

You have 2 sites, it works on one but not the other. The form is the same, it was published the same, you verified the form library settings are the same and the site features are activated the same? Something is different, the only thing I can suggest is that you double check it all. Sorry.

I am guessing you have compared all of the settings to make sure they are the same? Have you tried creating a new form library?

i somehow figured out the problem... normally i publish form to a sub site like http://mysite/marketing and when i submit forms , forms' icons pictures are xml and i couldn't open them in browser and also contents aren't shown in columns but i tried and published to a document library created in http://mysite... all problems are solved... also submitted forms' icons are infopath's icon... and also i could open them in browser

any idea what's the problem with sub site's document library?!!

Open the .xml using notepad. Does it have the header that includes the form name and location?

yes i think forms are published correctly... cause i can get forms in browser and also submitting them... of course forms are activated to site collection... yes a added it... as i said i could get forms in browser for submitting... my problem is that i couldn't open submitted forms in browser( i don't have problem and editing in infopath)

yes sharepoint enteprise features and form features are both activated,,,,

i just found out another problem... information and data that users fill in the forms aren't shown in columns but when i open submitted forms i could see that forms are filled...

i think this recent issue does have some relations with previous issues

"Unless you are posting it via Central Admin - there is no way that .xml would open in the browser via SharePoint. " - my comment was specific to the form that you uploaded to this site for us to review. My company only uses browser based forms, and they are all open in the browser. There is something different about your environment or your process.

You may already know this, but if not, it might help -- The .xml files are based on the .xsn template, so if your template isn't configured/published just right, the.xml files based on that template will not render correctly. If the .xsn is deleted or the person opening the .xml don't have access to the .xsn, it will fail to open or may open just display the xml instead of rendering it in form view.

If you open your .xml files, you will see a reference to the xsn in the header: <?mso-infoPathSolution name="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:MyForm:-myXSD-2010-03-15T15-35-03" solutionVersion="1.0.0.116" productVersion="12.0.0.0" PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="http://sharepointsite.com/sites/SiteCollection/FormServerTemplates/MyForm.xsn"?>

So more questions... Did you verify in Cental Admin under InfoPath Form services that browser based forms area allowed? Have you been able to get any forms published in sharepoint to open in the browser? Does it work for you and just not other people? You activated the form on the site collection, after that did you add it to a form library? Did you verify in site collection features that the form and SharePoint Enterprise features are both activated?

yes i made it full trust and after i uploaded it from central administration and applied it to site collection...

so it means there's no way that i could open .xml submitted forms in browser?

Also check the Site Collection features and make sure Office SharePoint Server Enterprise features are activated.
