Problem opening email attachment

J

Jerusik

I created a form and posted it to our Intranet. The form contained some data
fields that were to be filled out and a Submit button that emailed the form
to the Web Administrator as an attachment. When the Admin attempted to open
the attachment, he received an error message that requested the manifest.xsf
on my machine.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi,

Whenever you create an InfoPath form (i.e. you double-click an InfoPath XSN
file, etc.) that form is tied to the XSN from which it was created. As
such, when you e-mail that form to another user they must have InfoPath
installed *and* they must have access to the XSN that the form was created
from.

Typically what one would do in cases such as this is either deploy the XSN
file to a Windows Sharepoint site or deploy the XSN to a shared location on
your network where all users that will be using that form have access to
that share.

I hope this helps!
