Infopath file opening in IE instead of Infopath

[hroberts]

I have several infopath documents on a sharepoint 2003 server. I was
running office 2003 and these files opened infopath without any
problems. Since I have upgraded to Office 2007, when I click on these
files to view it, it opens in IE and all I see is the XML code. How
do I get this thing to open up the files back in Infopath.

Here is the first part of my file if it helps:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<?mso-infoPathSolution PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="http://ormat-km/
sites/IT/Process%20Documentation/Forms/template.xsn" name="urn:schemas-
microsoft-comffice:infopathrocess-Documentation:-
myXSD-2005-04-21T07-18-26" solutionVersion="1.0.0.76"
productVersion="11.0.8165" ?>
<?mso-application progid="InfoPath.Document"?>
<?mso-infoPath-file-attachment-present ?>

Hello

If you have observed the xml part , The product version is different, so the
xml doesnt recongnise the Infopath 2007 and opens in the IE. To Overcome this
you have to first manually open the forms in Infopath 2007 first and then
save them to sharepoint to get the xml's attached to the Infopath 2007
