www.science.widener.edu/molecule3dthe picture below shows the
dimer form of methanoic acid(formic)
 and few info at  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid
 I hope this would help you

This is exactly what I drew in my second post here: intramolecular H-bonds.

I do agree about intra h-bonds formic acid but my discussion was about inter h-bonds with any aliphatic  carbonyl athom, e.g aldehyde one. Of course such h-bond could be weaker and may be its energy  closer to Van-der-Vaals interactions.
