Or to try and explain this better...

<a href="ms-infopath:nft|u|<LINK TO INFO PATH TEMPLATE>|s|<LINK TO INFOPATH FORM LIBRARY>/">Text Label</a>

Replace everything in bold.

Hi, i'm not great with html either but I believe you would want:

<a href="ms-infopath:nft|u|https://<sharepointsite>/<subsite>/<library>/<folder>/<form template>.xsn|s|https://<sharepoint site>/<subsite>/<form library>/">Text Label</a>

Thanks! I got it to launch InfoPath, but it can't find the template. I don't know much about html.. would you be able to help me translate my existing one below to use what you suggested above? Here's what I have. I inserted a content editor webpart on a page and edited the source: "

" " //_layouts/FormServer.aspx? " " XsnLocation=https://///TemplateCT.xsn&SaveLocation=https%3A%2F%2F//&ClientInstalled=true&Source=https%3A%2F%2F/&DefaultItemOpen=0"> Text Label

I did actually, here's how I set my links up:

ms-infopath:nft|u|https://<sharepointsite>/<subsite>/<library>/<folder>/<form template>.xsn|s|https://<sharepoint site>/<subsite>/<form library>/

I'm having similar issues if I'm using IE 11, the link works fine in IE9. Were you able to find a solution for this?

Yup, I have the same issue.

Well thanks for your help. I'm using InfoPath 2013 from Office 2013 Pro Plus (Not Office 365).

Hmmmm. I'm about out of ideas, I'm afraid - what version of InfoPath are you using? Did you install from Office 365? I can look and see if this repros on my machine...

Ok, turning on compatibility mode also gives me a download/save prompt.

How about, just for giggles, you try turning on compatibility mode in IE....

Re: Filler form keeps trying to open in browser

jhodge — Fri, 08 Aug 2014 16:33:27 GMT

That's set correctly. Good idea though.

I don't know if this is a step forward or a step back, but I just tried disabling the Office Document Cache Handler browser helper object, from IE and now it simply tries to save/download the template. This behaviour has remained even now the extension is re-enabled.

Okay - so it isn't a compatibility issue like I saw in 2007 / 2010. I wonder if an IE setting may need to be changed: Internet Options > Programs > Set Programs and see if .xsn is associated with InfoPath?

Ok, I've created an extremely basic InfoPath 2013 Filler form, published it to a different library, and tried all the various links that I listed above, all to no avail. Same message I'm afraid.

I've also tried in Chrome, and get the same results.

When I saw this happen, it was an InfoPath 2010 filler form published to a SharePoint 2007 site - same thing, worked fine from New Document or opening the template location, but using a link to the template caused this issue.

Do you have IP 2013 installed? As a test, could you publish an IP 2013 filler form to a different library, and add a test link to that and see what happened?
