Dynamic push to infopath

[Rob]

Is it possible to push a change to an InfoPath form that a user is filling-in
to dynamically change the content of the form? I have a need to build an
information collection system where results are being monitored
real-time...as forms are submitted I would like to be able to send certain
users new (ad hoc) questions to fill out...one could think of this as a
primitive chat client using InfoPath. Is there any way to do this? How?

Also, can you embed InfoPath in a .NET forms based application?

Thanks.

You could also do this with a web service--before submit, query the web
service, and if it returns a 'need more data' response, switch to the
'collect more data' view of your form.

1. You might be able to build an ActiveX control that does what you are
asking for.
2. No, InfoPath cannot as yet be embedded.
