InfoPath Group - Public

I am wracking my brains on how to do this. Here is the scenario:

We have a InfoPath Form we are using to deal with a Outage issues,
the InfoPath form is made up of three parts, the first form is used
to indicate that a problem exist and a running log is maintained on
the form. Once the problem has been fixed, the Outage Form has a
button that the Operator presses which opens a new form view with a
Resolution InfoPath Form (2nd form). When this is filled out, the
Operator clicks a submit button which feeds two different SharePoint
(v2) form libraries, one is to monitor all open and closed ticket,
while the other is for Lesson Learned about the outage. So far this
is not an issue, everything works appropriately.

When a user accesses the Lesson learned form library and clicks on
the Lesson Learned XML file, I want that form to open in a READ-ONLY
view that I created, however, since the XML file was saved using a
form template from another Form Library, I am unable to use the form
template I created for the Lesson Learned form library where I set
the view as a READ-ONLY (using Expression Boxes) view because the
path of the saved XML form is pointing to the InfoPath Form Template
from the other library. The only way to change this is to relink the
form library so it resets itself to form template associated with the
Lesson learned master form template.

Does anyone have an idea how i can resolve this issue.

Thanks!
