Connecting to a sharepoint - using Dreamweaver???

[Joe]

Hi all,

I want to publish a questionnaire to my webspace using Infopath. People here
told me to use Share Point. However, I purchased dreamweaver for publishing
my infopath site to my website.

How can I find out about a sharepoint address? How can I connect to it?
Do I need another software apart from Infopath? It all seams to be very
complicated.

Help very much appreciated....

Publishing a form from InfoPath is pretty easy. Design your form(client based
or web based) and then from the task pane on the right find Publish Form
Template option or from the File menu "Publish".
Select the option SharePoint Library or list. You have to get the url for
the sharepoint site you want to publish on
(http://domain.subdomain.com/sites/sitename/)
Then you can either create a new SharePoint library/list from InfoPath or
you can go to that site to create one and then use that existing library/list
option while publishing.

Hope that helps.

Joe,

DreamWeaver is used to create web pages or forms (i.e. xhtml), but not
InfoPath forms. You need the MS InfoPath client application for that. If you
are creating web-based forms for your non-SharePoint web server, then ignore
InfoPath and just use DreamWeaver.

When you create a form in InfoPath, you can share it in two ways:

a) saving the form template to a public location such as a file share or
SharePoint document library. Other users can then download this template and
fill out the form in their InfoPath client.

b) publish the form to a SharePoint Server that has InfoPath Services
running on it. Users can access the form through their web browser without
requiring the InfoPath client. There are some limitations to this approach.

In both cases, the data from the forms can be saved to a file, database, or
SharePoint list.

Hi Amond,

thanks for your reply. You said:
"You have to get the url for the sharepoint site you want to publish on
(http://domain.subdomain.com/sites/sitename/) "

How do I get the url in the first place?

Thanks for your support.
Joe

You have to contact the admin of either the Windows 2003 server where your
SharePoint services are running or the admin of the SharePoint server hosting
it.
