Thanks Patrick - that's part of the picture. I'm trying to open an item in a custom list, not an xml document from a library.

Hi DaveC and welcome,

Shiraz Cupala blogged a technique showing how to do this several years back. http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/shiraz/archive/2007/08/16/best-way-to-launch-forms-from-web-pages.aspx

Good luck!

How to create a link to edit a SharePoint custom list item in InfoPath?

I have an InfoPath 2010 form that I want to open in InfoPath Filler when the user clicks on a link containing a reference to an item in a SharePoint custom list. I haven't been able to get Filler to successfully open the item. The closest I've got uses the following onclick handler:

onclick="BLOCKED SCRIPTvar objOpenXMLDoc = new ActiveXObject('SharePoint.OpenXMLDocuments'); objOpenXMLDoc.EditDocument2(window , 'http://myserver{@FileRef.urlencodeasurl}', 'InfoPath.Document'); return false;"

This will open the InfoPath Filler application but displays an error dialog saying the Internet address 'http://myserver/NOC/Lists/OperatorAreaOfResponsibility/11_.000' is not valid. Other posts I've read have suggested using {@Link} for this purpose but when I try that it renders as an empty string. A little help here?
