Can i submit a Infopath form to a website for users without infopa

[peedypie]

hi
i have created an infopath form that submits to an access database and
everything works OK so far.
i have yet to figure out how to show my form on a website... any help here
would grately be appreciated.
i have been looking on the questions here and it sounds like all users have
to have infopath installed... is this correct?
if not.
how do i make it so that users can fill my form out and submit it to my
database.

many thanks
Pete

Hi Pete

Infopath 2003 doesnt support browser rendering. You can give the users the
form
and they can download it and fill it submit it.
Infopath 2007 supports browser rendering, so user can fill out the form even
if they
dont have infopath client. You need to have forms server to host forms in
browser.

thank you that has answered my question.

if i was to make a form downloadable.. could customers use it still without
the infopath client installed? and what would the file type be? HTML?

when the customer submits the form and it updates my database i would then
like to authorise the customers details entered.
is this possible?

many thanks

Hi

Yes they will need to have infopath client installed. It will be
..xsn only.

If you would like to authorize, you must do it on client side by
adding managed code to the infopath form. I dont know about
Infopath 2003, but to Infopath 2007 you can add managed code
to it, but that would require signing your infopath form.

Hope this helps
