Hi dlgross,

... just as an additional information...

There´s a way to show the infopath forms in a web part of sharepoint itself. This web part allowing users without InfoPath to view [not edit] the contents of forms on their web browser.

For further information please have a look here:

I haven´t any experience with this --- therefore don´t ask me for details... ;-))

Thanks for the information, I guess what I'd really like to know is how to provide the user the appropriate instructions when they don't have IP installed e.g., have a message box pop up telling them what to do. Is something like this possible from a SharePoint forms library?

You can also install our Forms Viewer free evaluation. Office Forms Server 2007 is going to be the high end solution due out later this year.

Here is a thread that has the information that you are looking for. Scroll down to
"How can a user that does not have InfoPath installed view a Form saved in a
SharePoint Team Services Form Library?"

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread38702.html

You can also export the form to MHT and post that to SharePoint. InfoPath also has a level 3 security (i.e. Full Trust) method that will =
allow you to do this when the user clicks submit or save.

XDocument.View.Export("http://MySharePoint/MyFolder/MyView", "MHT");

Hi dlgross,

U need to have InfoPath installed in the client machine to open the form from that machine and make use of the dynamic and rich UI.

What happens when a user without InfoPath tries to open a form from a SharePoint Form Library?
