Can we move InfoPath forms from development site to production site?

From the question I mean only the form, not the site itself.

Is there any way to move a InfoPath form from SharePoint development site to production site?

Thanks,

just publish it to production site

http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/infopath-help/move-a-published-form-template-to-a-new-sharepoint-library-HP010102446.aspx

Step 1: Publish the form template to the new document library

  1. Open the working copy of the form template in design mode.
  2. On the File menu, click Publish.
  1. In the Publishing Wizard, click To a SharePoint server with or without InfoPath Forms Services, and then click Next.
  1. In the Enter the location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services site box, type the location of the SharePoint site that contains the new document library that you want to move your form template to, and then click Next.
  2. On the next page of the wizard, click Document Library, and then click Next.
  3. Click Create a new document library, and then click Next.
  4. On the next page of the wizard, type a name and description for the new document library, and then click Next.
  5. Choose the fields in the form template that you want to appear as columns in the default view of the document library.

ShowHow?

  1. Click Next.
  2. On the next page of the wizard, verify that the information shown is correct, and then click Publish.
  3. To open the document library and test the process for filling out a form that is based on this form template, select the Open this document library check box, and then click Close.

The document library will open in a browser. When you click New on the list toolbar, a form based on this form template will open in Microsoft Office InfoPath.

Thanks for your reply.

But it is what I have already done at the time of publishing to the development site.

My question is, Now I have form published on my development site and is there any way that I can move the form directly to the production site from development site (I don't want to use InfoPath for this operation)?

Thanks

Publishing form is how the form details get updated and linked to sharepoint. 

there is no other way

How do you guys manage all the "linkages" breaking? eg: if you have a data source in an info path that says: http://myspsite_test/things/listhere and you are publishing to PROD then its http://myspsite/ but the form will still be pointing to the test for its data...? How do you resolve these kinds of things?
