Transfering Distribution and Response Files to Another Computer

I recently completed designing over 30 forms, completed the distribution steps and tested them to gather responses using the Tracker. All worked well on my computer but after transfering files to client's computer have been unable to attach replies to the relevant response file. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?

transfer the raw files to the client's machine and then run the distribution wizard from there. I'm pretty sure that part of the info Acrobat needs to make the connection between the form and the collection file is on the system. I don't know the exact details but from what I've seen you get the best results when the files are setup, distributed from, and collected on the same machine.

This seems to be one of the limitations of using Acrobats built-in data handling feature. More flexible workflows require using a different data handling scheme.
