Can't open an InfoPath form

When I attempt to open an infopath form this is the error I get:

This form cannot be opened because it requires the domain permission level and it currently has restricted permission.  To fix this problem, open the form from the location it was published to.
Published location: file:///\\FileServer\UserFolder\My%20Forms\Form1.xsn

However, this directorty is exactly where I am attempting to open it from.

I'm confused

You need to go into the form options / properties and look at the security settings.

Depending on whether you are using code or not you may want to change these or play with them.  InfoPath uses your Internet Explorer secutity settings so another options is adding your \\fileserver to your trusted or local intranet locations in IE. This will eliminate these messages as well.

Probably just need to experiment with it for your needs but this is built in security functionality in InfoPath

ASKER

After opening the form I saved it to a different location. Then opening from that new location I no longer got the error. The form was never published.

InfoPath

Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.
