I've created a fillable form that users complete and return by e-mail as an attachment. When I open the returned FDF attachment I get a message that adobe can't find the form on my computer. I have to manually browse to the form and select it, then open it and it is populated by the returned data. How can I configure adobe so that the form automatically opens.
Thanks,
Mike

This should work as long as no one changes the names of the files. Keep the orignal file name the same and make sure the reviewers don't change the file names. Then it should find it.

Mark, thanks for answering my question. Your answer is exactly what has happened (I think). My form is downloadable for my users on their system. They then bring it up to fill out and send back as needed. What has happened is the form name hasn't changed but the "location" has. In other words when I get my form back from the users and I view the properties of the document it lists the location of the document on my users system. Is there a way to fix this?
Mike
