But if you just double click the xml file that you have locally, does it open with InfoPath? Or in IE as xml?

I think you may need to reassociate xml files to open with IP. You can do this by opening InfoPath, then, under Tools / Options, select the checkbox under Microsoft Office under the General tab that tells IP to check to see if it is set as the default xml editor. The next time you open an xml file, you should be prompted to set IP as your default editor....

I have InfoPath 2007 and in fact I can save the InfoPath to my desktop from SharePoint and "Open With" Microsoft office InfoPath 2007. It opens without any issue. I can also open InfoPath from the start button.

The form is opening in IE as xml when I click the link. It is not recognizing that xml form as InfoPath.

Thanks,

The simple reason is that the computer doesn't have InfoPath installed on it or the installation is corrupt. Try repairing Office and verify that InfoPath can open from the Start button.

Infopath is displayed as xml in IE when I try to open a infopath link from sharepoint site. This is not happenning on all the computers.

The xml docuement does contain the progid Document.Infopath.

I can save it to desktop and open with Infopath.
