Hi Lena,

Unfortunately, if your users need to enter data in your form, they will need
a local license of IP on their machine. It it was for read-only, you would
have several options from turning your xml into html to get a viewer (free or
a commercail one).

Is there a way I can now turn it into word document to use or do I have to
start all over again. This is extreamly frustrating! Why is this program so
NOT user friendly.

Hi Lena,

I am sorry to hear that you are fustrated with InfoPath. To get full
support of all SP1 features you will need InfoPath....until next version to
be released with Office 12.
That said, here is a more detailed summary of some of your options right now:

Option 1: You can turn an InfoPath form into HTML for display only:

Option 2: You can develop your own viewer. Do do so, you can start from any
of these free C# Viewer (with code):

Option 3: You can buy a commercial-grade one (some have some level of data
entry support!):
