Personally I don't know of any best practice. Several things come to mind.
A site is built around a purpose or theme i.e. HR, Sales, Marketing, IT
What's the purpose of the forms? Do they all fit under one category or theme i.e. HR.
I think it's best to think in terms of growth. Once you get one form, others are normally ...

Using InfoPath and SharePoint 2010.
Normally I do a very simple data validation against my form and fields, using a button control and simple rules to check that fields aren't blank. This works very well, is easy to implement and be used by users. However in testing of a new form. The form fell over due ...

On the form I created a ...

I'm currently building a form (Library A, which should link to other forms in a separate library (Library B). The forms are all under the same site. Is this sort of lookup possible?

Happy New Year All,
All,
Using InfoPath 2010 and publishing to SP Form Library 2010.
I have a form with various fields. I've now a requirement to make these fields 'repeat' themselves.

Example 1
Field1
Field 2
Q - Do you want to add another example? Yes/No
If yes, show new/empty fields 1 and ...

On the form, run design checker option (File>Info>Design Checker).
Check your data connections.
Does the form have any code on it i.e. behind a button?

On your button, you would query a data connection that you would have set up to the SharePoint lists.
If no information was found, you could have the rule fill out a hidden field and when this hidden field was not blank, a hidden section could be shown.
