Link to open new form instance in SharePoint form library

S

Steven

I want to create a link on a web page that opens a new form instance in a
SharePoint Form Library. Just as if I clicked the "Fill out this form"
button on the Form Library page in SharePoint.

The Fill out this form button invokes a javaScript function call.

Any thoughts on how I might get a new form to open using a link on another
web page?

Steven,

I'm not sure if it will work on a non sharepoint web page but what I did,
was create a hidden webpart in sharepoint for the form library, make sure to
use full menu. Then get the Javascript call when you mouse over the "Fill
out this form" in the webpart. You can only do this in the edit mode for
the web part page because the web part will be invisible in normal mode. The
javascript will have a unique call number. You can then create a button that
invokes that javascript call. Again, I don't really think it will work on a
non-sharepoint page because I think you need those javascript files or at
least linked to them. But it at least gives you a starting point.
