I guess this one call fall into the Acrobat forum so here although the form was created with LiveCycle.
So here goes:
I've created a form that can be 'tracked' etc. I used Tim Huff's demo which worked wonderfully.
Now the problem is that the system only works with forms I have sent using the distribution system, it doesn't work with a shared file ie one on a server.
So this is what I want to do: User completes file on shared drive, and emails it back to me, and the data contained within the file gets added to the 'data set' file.
The only way I can currently see of doing this is by having a separate email account where any user can access the 'distributed' file which is reused each time and then sent back thus adding data to the dataset.
Does this make sense, is it possible?
Thanks

We are doing the same thing with our forms but I have it set up like this. In each folder that needs a form is another folder with the Publication PDF and the Data collection PDF. The Master PDF is in another folder labeled Master PDFs (clever huh) You have to make sure when you set up the distribution the PDF are saved to this Data Collection folder at the time of setup. Then you can just set a link to the Publication PDF on the website for others to click on and download.
It doesn't really matter what email you use so long as who ever opens it has Acrobat on their computer so they open the return PDF and send it to the right folder on the server.
Hope this helps
