Basic Question on Use of InfoPath

[Maxine]

Can you publish forms to a WSS (3.0) or do you need The Office SharePoint
Server?

Do you want to store them in a form library and open/fill them using the
InfoPath client application or do you want to fill them out through a browser?

Through a browser from a SharePoint library.

Do you want to store them in a form library and open/fill them using the
InfoPath client application or do you want to fill them out through a browser?

 

[S.Y.M. Wong-A-Ton]

In that case you'll need Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) with
an enterprise license or you can buy Forms Server 2007, which you can install
on top of WSS v3 to enable the browser forms functionality. Take a look at
http://enterprise-solutions.swits.net/infopath2007/infopath-2007-frequently-asked-questions-faq.htm if things are still unclear.

How about using an InfoPath form as part of a custom workflow created with
WSS 3.0? We have WSS 3.0 and Office Forms Server 2007 installed. Could I use
the FormServer.aspx page to host InfoPath 2007 forms?

OK, this was good general info. Any suggestions on how to actually implement
this? I could really use a tutorial or some code samples, or something. All I
could find on msdn2's site was a high-level description.
