Infopath 2007 - Emailed forms not rendering correctly

Question

So I have a form that uses infopath services via sharepoint, and after multiple attempts at attempting to fix a rendering problem (tables appear WAY too wide to be readable), I think I have found the problem : date controls.

It seems date controls within Infopath 2007 screw with rendering somehow. To test, I made 2 variations of a VERY simple form - one with a date control, one with a text control - and placed them inside a table.

When emailed, the one with the date control rendered incorrectly.

My question is - has anyone experienced this before? If you have time, test it out. I think it is a bug or something, but not exactly sure.

I am using Infopath 2007, Sharepoint 2007, and Outlook 2007.

Yes, web form capability is checked. Web compatible date controls? I think so - everything looks perfect in the browser... only the email messes up. and yes you are correct. My mistake this is Sharepoint 2007. I fixed it above.

If anyone has the time, try it out - it's very frustrating to have to use text boxes for dates. Especially with the 'talent' we have here. lol

Answer 1

Do you have web form compatability checked in all the necessary places? Are you using the web compatible date controls? Are you sure you are using SharePoint 2003, I thought Form Services was a 2007 update.
