[MOSS 2007] Opening Infopath forms directly

Hello

How can I open an infopath form directly from a URL link
instead of going to the document library and then clicking new?

Typing the path of .xsn file in the URL downloads it.
I observed that .xsn file is given as the argument to formservices.aspx
with some mysterious arguments when I try to open it through document
library.

Should I just copy the URL and use it as a permanent link??

Hi,
are You talking about opening a web-based (hosted by Forms Server), or
Infopath client-based form?
If the form is designed to open in Infopath client, then creating the URL
with the .xsn at the end downloads it and opens the client. I haven't tried
it with web-based forms.

Yes I am talking about the web based form. Anyway I have solved the
problem using XMLFormView control on the ASPX page.
