    How to avoid my home path (href="file:///\\servername\user\....xsn" in the xml file?

    Hello!

    My first time in this forum :-)

    I need some tips and hope I can get it from someone of you?.

    I use InfoPath 2003 in my work, and have made an ordering schema (xsn file) that I put on our Intranet.
    If the user opening it and fill in and sending it to the reciver (e-mail) the e-mail reciver cannot open it because it containing my home directory in the XML file.
    In the  XML file it is refer to my home directory href=file:///\\sever\...my home dir\path to the file\nameonthe.xsn file
    And of course they does not have the permission to my directory and it fails to open.
    The error message is "Cannot open file......" and it refering to my home directory...

    I'm stuck, and cannot use my schema at all.

    I'm glad if some of you can give me some hint :-)

    Regards
    Bjørn

    In order for the user to open the XML file in InfoPath, they need to have access to the XSN related to it.  This means either (1) Putting the XSN in a public place, such as the Internet, or (2) Using a URN-based solution (i.e. publish the form to a list of e-mail recipients, or use an installable template).
