Hi
I have JUST created my first IP form. This was a "rush job" for a demo of
"data entry" type forms.
The form in question, created initially in word 2007, contains a 6 x 48
table. Basically this form requires the ability for the user to select a
date from a DatePicker in each of two "fields", a third field is required
to store limited textual data, max of 200 chars max and usually much less
than that ~50-60.
There is also a possibility that another field requires a drop down list
of maybe 10 items. The drop down choices for this field (in each row)
would contain different items. Therefore the total number of items from
which to choose could be as many as 480, though this maximum is unlikely
to be reached in most instances.
All of this is a precursor to the following questions ...
Can all of this data be self contained in a "master" form (or whatever it
may be called?), from which the new updateable form can be created for
editing by the user?
Can this form be created and used without having to use any kind of
database, or other backend processing?
I am assuming that each user would have to have Infopath or some
derivative to make the form "interactive"
The essence of what is required in my clients need is an "interactive"
form from which (on each row) they can choose an item from a drop down
list, select a date in each of two fields (in each row) and add
(potentially re-edit) a comment or small amount of text.
The princple is to transfer the use of paper based forms (on which of
course the users write) to an electronic form. Initially the change to the
electronic base is the forerunner to additional forms/changes in the
future.
At THIS TIME though, there is no need to capture or otherwise process the
data entered by the user. At the very most, the form may need to be either
printed, emailed or both.
Thank you for any help, I hope you can understand what I mean.
Kind regards
Peter
