Link to another InfoPath Document

[trish]

I am trying to put a link in an InfoPath document to let the user open
another InfoPath document. I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
Any suggestions?

trish,

I have done this using Sharepoint Document lists. I had a field in Infopath
(field1) that pointed to one of my documents in the Sharepoint Library. I
used a drop-down control to display a list of all the file names. Once the
user selects the appropriate file, I setup a rule on the first drop-down to
set an InfoPath field (field2) to the concat("http://<url to file>/",.)

Then I can create a hyperlink control that uses field2 to deliver the
appropriate link to the user.

Does this make sense?

Thanks for the suggestions - I wasn't familiar with the "rules" functions so
that should solve the problem.

I tried to do the same (refer to a file containing data submitted from
infopath form with a hyperlink) so i tried inserting a button. All the button
lets me do is to insert some jscript code, but how do I open a file in that?
No reference to "rules" anywhere...

You should be able to do this with a button rather than a link. One of the actions for the rules is to open another form.
