I'm kind of confused, I'm sorry... but wouldn't you just want to include the link to the XML in the workflow? Isn't that what you want the user to open? The XML will know the location of its template.....

That article was helpful, thanks. Closer...

The URL I send in a workflow is the Encoded Absolute.. but I think that is wrong now. This is the form library where the XML are housed:

http://SERVER/forms/Intangible%20Purchase%20Requests/Testing2011-05-17T15_01_11.xml

But I use a content type in this library to refer to this template:

http://SERVER/forms/Form%20Template%20Library/PurchaseRequisitions_Intangible.xsn

How do i get my workflows to open in Infopath? All the examples use FormServer..

Is this needed?

What does the URL look like? Does it have a Source query parameter included? Here's the MSDN info on IP and query params....

This should be easy and probably is, but it has killed my day.

I created an expense form in Infopath, that form gets routed back to me and my manager. How do I get the form to open in Infopath and not a browser? The document library is set as open in Client Application, but it is not working.

Am I supposed to be using Encoded Absolute URL or something else? It opens in a browser and I want to force it to open in Infopath.

Thoughts?
