About backward compatibility

In Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Service Pack 1, existing forms function the same way they did in Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003, while taking advantage of the improvements and new features included in the service pack. To ensure compatibility for users of Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 without Service Pack 1 or later installed, however, certain features are not available to existing forms.

The following sections describe areas of functionality that may be affected when you are working with more than one version of InfoPath.

ShowUpgrading existing forms

ShowCreating new form templates

ShowRemoving new features from a form template

ShowDisabling new features

ShowOpening form templates that contain form code with updated object model members

ShowLaunching and automating InfoPath from another application
