    InfoPath 2007 opens from SharePoint library as read-only without warning

    Hi InfoPath Experts

    We are using MOSS2007 Standard Edition and Office 2007.

    I have a SharePoint library containing both Excel Documents and InfoPath forms, which requires check in and check-out.

    If a user clicks on the URL of an Excel document without first checking it out, he receives a warning that it is read-only and a check-out button.

    If he does the same with an InfoPath 2007 form, it simply opens in Read-only mode without warning (except for the not very visible "[Read-Only]" after the file name at the top of the screen). It is then possible to edit the form, but not to save the edits

    Is there any way to make a check-out-and-edit button which is shown when the URL is clicked? Or at least to make a more visible warning that the form is read-only.

    I also want to send the URL link in a workflow, but when the recipient clicks on it, it just opens as read-only (Is it possible to make the URL link to check out and edit?)

    Thanks

    Trevor
