I usually save locally when I'm designing a new template and then when everything is ready to go, publish to a shared resource.<br /><br />---------------<br />Matt Faus<br />InfoPath Dev Texas<br />https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/5285.aspxThu, 19 Jan 2006 09:35:26 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:5285tatopitta0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/5285.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=5285Hi all,<br />I designed a template on my machine and I saved it on a shared resource. In my project the XML forms are sent to the users by email: so when I open a form and save it on my machine, the href attribute changes from the url of shared resource to the path of local copy of the template.<br />why does it happen?<br /><br />Another question: which is the difference between save a template on a shared resource and publish it on a shared resource?<br />Thank u.
