How do I send a form published in InfoPath with no attachment

[LElmore]

How do I send a form published in InfoPath with no attachment. I have
created a form in infopath and when I send it out to a receipient it creates
the file again as an attachment. The receipent either can open the form and
edit it if they have infopath installed or they get a option to download and
install it. This is a problem. I do not want the form sent as an
attachment. How do you turn this off.

You can switch off the users ability to send the form as an attachment by
going into tools, form options, open and save, and unclicking the relelvant
bit. What i normally do is publish the form to a shared location and send
out a notification, that way everyone is using the 'current' version of the
form.

One other thing you can do in 'Form Options' is enable protection by going
to 'General' and ticking the protection box. This prevents the average user
from editing the form and protects it to a reasonable degree. Not password
protected or anything but not bad.
