Can InfoPath provide more than a single page for data entry

Hi

I am doing something honorary for a local charity in UK.

I am new to InfoPath.

I have already got an Access Database writing to an Excel Spreadsheet and
wish to consider InfoPath for data entry to the Database.

There must be upto 7 pages/screens that can be used by the user for
different unique entries to the database.

Can InfoPath provide multiple pages (e.g. 1-7)

Thanks

One easy way of doing this is to have 7 views - each displaying unique
information, you could save information when switching views or have a
save button just on the page 7 "view". Am still very new to it and am
not sure what performance doing it this method will be- but this is how
i am going to achieve a similar thing with my first form.

I shall try what you say.

I will go for a single submit or save button as all of the 7 days entries
will be going to the same database as unique date specific recrords.

How do I create an additional view or page without creating a completely new
form?

I am quite excited with the product as it will mean the charity does not
have to spend more money to buy something like SQL server but instead could
safely work with the Access database in a safe folder and have data entry via
InfoPath forms.

Incidently the charity provides day club, cafe and counselling for the
elderly, special needs of all ages and training for family home carers and it
serves a very large urban population in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

Since many of the staff are volunteers or non technical I am trying to keep
data entry as simple and error free as possible.

They will be grateful for all the advice.

Thank you.

Jay
