Remarks

The NewFromFormTemplate method can only be used to create a new form based on an existing form template; it cannot be used to create a new form based on a form. To create a form from an existing form, use the New method.

When you use the NewFromFormTemplate method, the new form opens in InfoPath 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 Office InfoPath 2007.

Example

In the following example, the NewFromFormTemplate(formTemplateLocation) method of the XmlFormCollection class is passed the URI of an existing form template and the new form's associated XmlForm object is returned.

XmlForm newDocument = 
   this.Application.XmlForms.NewFromFormTemplate(
   @"C:\MyForm.xsn");

Dim newDocument As XmlForm  = _
   Me.Application.XmlForms.NewFromFormTemplate(_
   "C:\MyForm.xsn")
