Re: Host infopath form running on Infopath form server in ASP.net application running on IIS server in different machine

Ted,

Thank You for such a quick response.

I found this link

http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2007/02/14/forms-services-and-multiple-iis-web-applications.aspx

that describes running form services on multiple iis.

So basically, Best bet for us is to install infopath form server on the same machine that has our asp.net web application running on iis.

then use XmlFormView activex control to manipulate infopath form templates in the existing aspx pages.

As an alternative solution, can we use iframe from our existing aspx page to provide link to .xsn file (infopath temaplate) file that way

we can still be on separate server?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, according to the book "Designing Forms for Microsoft Office InfoPath and Forms Services 2007" by Scott Roberts & Hagen Green this is not possible as hosting IP in a .net application uses an ActiveX control and:

"...As a side note, InfoPath does not include a redistributable package for form editing Active X control. Users of your application will still need to have InfoPath 2007 installed"
