InfoPath Dev

Ok, i installed the VSTASDKFebruary2007.exe but the problem persists... maybe if uninstall and reinstall this problem disappear....

I am using the Form services buddled with Sharepoint 2007.  The Infopath has been published to the Form Library successfully and everything has been working fine; however, the only way to initiate the Infopath form in a Web browser is to create a new form in a Form Library of Sharepoint.  I am wondering if there is any way i could ...

You would still need to be careful if the user opens it twice but you should be fine in this situation. What you do is create a secondary data connection to recieve from the form library itself.  Make sure the ID number is in the defualt view and that all items are displayed in the view, not just the default top 100.
