Deploying Browser Enabled InfoPath forms to production

Deploying Browser Enabled InfoPath forms to production
1. Go to Tools > Form Options > Compatability and check Browser compatability.
2. Go to the Design Checker to see if there are any comparability issues. If there are, address them to ensure the form will open correctly in the browser.
3. Republish the form to SharePoint, and then make sure to change the library's settings such that the form opens in the browser.
