Hi,

Have you tried the following steps:

When you are creating a Infopath form make sure you tick the Enable browser enabled features only at the time when you are creating a new infopath form. Make sure that your form is browser enabled (Tools -> Form Options -> Compatibility) in InfoPath. The "Design a form that can be opened in the browser" is checked and selected. After designing your form publish it in your Sharepoint Forms Library.

After that follow this step:

Go to the Form Library to which you published the InfoPath form template.
Click Settings on the Form Library menu bar and choose Form Library Settings from the drop-down menu.
On the Customize <Form Library Name> page under the General Settings category, click Advanced settings .
On the Form Library Advanced Settings: <Form Library Name> page under the Browser-enabled Documents category, choose Display as a Web page .

from the Central Administration also make sure to enable this feature.

To enable this setting:

Open SharePoint Central Administration .
Click the Application Management tab.
On the Application Management page under the InfoPath Forms Services category, click Configure InfoPath Forms Services .
On the Configure InfoPath Forms Services page under the User Browser-enabled Form Templates category, check Render form templates that are browser-enabled by users .

Hope that helps solve your problem,

Existing InfoPath forms open in browser. New forms are trying to open in the client.

I had to move a SharePoint site to a new SharePoint web app. I've updated the data connections in my InfoPath form design and republished it as an administrator approved form. The updated form has been upload via Central Admin. Forms that previously existed in my document library open just fine in a browser. These forms have the newly published design - I placed a timestamp on the form. However, when I create a new form, it opens in the InfoPath client. The URL for the new form looks good to me. It ends in &DefaultItemOpen=1 which indicates that the request is from a document or form library that has the Display as a Web page setting. I see the form in the site's FormServerTemplates and it opens in a browser from there. The Form's options under compatibility have a form type of Web Browser Form (InfoPath 2007).

Any ideas why new forms want to open in the client?
