Emailing without Sharepoint

[Alison K]

I've designed a form in InfoPath 2007 and clicked to Publish it and send it
to email recipients in one company. I am not on their server, though, and it
seems to me that I would have to be in order to send this as the recipients
need to be at a 'shared location'. Is this so? Is there a way I can just
send the form to my email recipients in Outlook 2007 with Business Contacts
and track replies without being on a server?

I'd be grateful for your help as I'm using the trial version of InfoPath
2007 now and, as a freelance consultant, if I need to be publishing to a
shared location, this could be problematic.

Hi,

If you send form in the Email body(New feature in infopath2007), then user
can able to read/write data and send back to the sender.

But, user can't able to open the form if you don't have permissions for
Published location.

Hi Anuma

Thanks for such a prompt reply and it works! So simple but it completely
by-passed me!

When you talk of Permissions in the 'published locations', I guess, since
it's my PC and I'm the 'Systems Administrator', the permission is totally
under my control and not dependent on the receiver. Can you just confirm
this?

And just one other thing: if I'm sending the questionnaire in the body of
an email, would it be possible to collate all the replies into one Excel
spreadsheet (instead of one for each email) so that I can make diagrams of
responses for a single report? If so, do you have any tips as to how to
collate these different emails into one spreadsheet?

Once I've got these, I should be set to go it alone.

Thanks again for your help.

Alison

Hi,

Is Receipent also have admin permissions for your machine. If you have
permissions, then you can able to open and send mail. But if receipent don't
have permissions then he can't able to open the form from email. But he can
able to fill the body of the email.
