[Thiego]

Hi,

I created an Infopath form.
Is it possible to publish it to "Organizational forms library"? I want all my team to use this form from outlook to send it as an Infopath e-mail forms. I'm using outlook 2007 and exchange 2003 (but it will be upgraded to exchange 2007).

Thanx
Thiego

No, InfoPath forms don't use the Organizational Forms library as Outlook forms do and, in fact, don't need such a central repository. When you use InfoPath 2007 to send an e-mail form, the form information is included in the message. This article explains how to e-mail InfoPath forms -- http://blogs.msdn.com/tudort/archive/2006/02/22/536800.aspx. If you have a form that you want multiple people to be able to use to send InfoPath e-mail form messages, you publish it to several locations; see http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2006/06/30/652464.aspx

Hi Thiego. InfoPath forms must be published locally, in a SharePoint
library, or via InfoPath Forms Services.

You don't publish it to Outlook or Exchange. The usual procedure is to use it
to define a SharePoint document library and the users pick it up from there.
You really should ask in the InfoPath forum or in a SharePoint forum.

Thanx for the explanation..
I thought there was something like Org Forms Library in Outlook but for Infopath E-Mail Forms.. That's why i came to this forum.
Now i'm aware there is not. =(
So i'll have to publish the form to every new user if i want him to send infopath e-mail forms messages.. that sounds boring!

The Microsoft preferred solution to this problem is MOSS 2007 server
and a mail-enabled document library.

If MOSS 2007 is not is not in your mix, you are in for a boring time.
