Hello,

Everytime I open InfoPath 2003 on numerous systems, I get a message
about the program not being the default application for XML documents.
If I check to make it the default (which is what I need), it runs a
"Detect & Repair" which seems to complete fine.

The next time I open InfoPath, it does it again...

I went into File Types, and manually selected InfoPath for XML
Document extensions, but it does it anyhow. The extension was
registered to "XML Editor" previously.

Any thoughts?
Steve
