Hey T-Bone Safari,
One option is to create a URN based InfoPath form that installs on computers via e-mail (or an MSI) and has qRules built into it so that when they submit it maps data to a SharePoint list and sends e-mail with the XML attached. That would require InfoPath rich client though.

Hello, I'm trying to build a simple message box with multiple lines and windows sytems icons.
For some reason, Infopath doesn't recognize VBNEWLINE or MessageBoxIcon.
Problem 1:
MessageBox.Show(MessageBoxIcon.Stop & " You cannot save a blank form. Use the search function first.")
This line works but only displays ...

Hi Peter, I did mean the actual form cache. I have seen a number of issues with form cache's not updating properly and although you haven't technically published a new template it seems to me that the local template should be being updated with the new 2DS after they go online.
I do believe the form cache issues were fixed in SP2

I assume you mean the data cache (Tools/Options/Clear Cached Queries) rather than the Form cache? I'll test this and let you know.
Do you have any more info on the caching issues? We're running SP1 here.

Peter, what happens if you have the user first clear their IP cache before they go online and then see what happens after they connect to the form and go offline after that.
I recall there being some form caching issues (bugs) with InfoPath 2007, I thought they were fixed in a service pack at some point. Curious what clearing the cache ...

Thanks again Ted,
Yes, I've looked at that one and this one, but it doesn't clarify whether the underlying template data should be updated. Our tests showed, as soon as they went back offline, the form reverted to the old data. Surely it should keep the updated data?
Perhaps it's an issue with the number of days set for caching the ...

It seems like you could use a conditional default value (which can be created with substring formulas, described here). But first, do you need to be storing the status value in your form? Or could you just use two expression boxes, one that says "Issues Closed" and one that says "Open Issues", then use conditional formatting to ...

Peter,
Did you read this article on the MS Office site? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HA101569041033.aspx
I'm pretty sure that you should not need to use Groove, the refreshing of the cached data in your 2DS should work.

Thanks Ted, but I believe this is similar to the built-in Refresh button in InfoPath 2007, which only performs a refresh on the current form without updating the underlying template's "X_offline.xml" data file - unless I'm mistaken.
Perhaps other people use Groove - not sure if that performs the SharePoint data sync magically or ...
