Opening Infopath Form from VB application

J

I need following functionality:
1) Load all the cached Infopath Template in a list
2) On clicking on a form it should open in Infopath

How can I do this?

Thanks

InfoPath doesn't expose the list of forms a user has previously opened. You
would have to create a list of forms that may be useful to your user
manually.

You can always use NewFromSolution(url) to open an existing form, even if it
hasn't been previously opened.

You could also record the forms as they are opened by the user to a key in
the registry (I suggest HKEY_CURRENT_USER) during Infopath's _Startup event.
Then read the desired data from VB when needed.

Hi,

I am able to open the form using method NewFromSolution(formName). Here
formName is the share point form library template URL.
When I open the form in local system disconnected from Share Point Library,
It popup a message “Could not open http://......./template.xsn†and on
clicking OK form opens.
Cannot I avoid this message?

Thanks
