Remarks
The Open method can only be used to open a form; it cannot be used to open a form template. To create a form from a form template, use the NewFromFormTemplate method. To create a form that is based on an existing form, use the New method.
When you use the Open method, the specified form opens in Microsoft InfoPath 2010 and is ready to be filled out.
This member can be accessed only by forms running in the same domain as the currently open form, or by forms that have been granted cross-domain permissions.
This type or member can be accessed only from code running in forms opened in Microsoft InfoPath Filler.
Examples
In the following code example, the Open method of the XmlFormCollection class is passed the URI of the form to open in read-only mode and its associated XmlForm object is returned.
XmlForm document = this.Application.XmlForms.Open(
@"C:\MyForm.xml", XmlFormOpenMode.ReadOnly);
Dim document As XmlForm = Me.Application.XmlForms.Open(_
"C:\MyForm.xml", XmlFormOpenMode.ReadOnly)
