You can share your forms
with others by sending them
in the body of an e-mail message or as an attachment.
Security The recipient of an e-mail message may not receive an attachment depending on the attachment file type. For example, program file type (.exe) attachments are blocked by Microsoft Outlook. The security level of file types is, in some cases, set by the e-mail server administrator. Make sure to provide an alternative method for recipients to access the attachment.
Note Because storing a form template (.xsn file) in a single location helps ensure that forms based on the form template open and function properly, it is recommended that you use the Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 Publishing Wizard to share form templates with others.
