Even Rank Beginners Know More Than I Do!

[bondg]

I've just begun looking into InfoPath and love what I'm seeing. I'd like to
go to my boss and sell him on using InfoPath. To do this, I'm going to need
a "from the ground, up" view of what would be involved in getting started
with this app.

Where do I find a Newbie's Guide to InfoPath? I've seen all the marketing
stuff and I'm sold on the product....now I need to know the answers to all
the IT questions my boss will ask. What sort of back-end requirements are
there? Where/how is the data stored? Will we have to design and code all
our own forms? And on and on and on and........

Thanks much for any input.

I would begin by taking a look at the InfoPath labs. Basically, InfoPath is
a front-end to SQL, Access and Web Services, and is also able to create
standalone documents to store data in XML format.
