Using OmniForm Data Files
This section explains how to use OmniForm Data files to open shared
forms and how to set up a shared form location. A shared form is one
other users can access.
When you export OmniForm data from a form, the form’s file name is
stored inside the Data file. OmniForm uses the file name information as
well as pathway information in the Options dialog box to locate and
open a copy of the original form. The form automatically imports
information from the Data file. This is useful for sharing data, especially
if you want to send another user just part of a database.
