Forms for non Infopath Users

[BCLivell]

Hi Everyone-

I am developing a form that I would like people to be able to access
and fill out. We have a sharepoint server set up, but not everyone has
inforpath. Is there a way to publishin the form in an HTML format (I'm
guessing) or something similar that will allow a person to go to a webpage or
something and fill out a form and then save it to the form library on the
server? Please help. Thank you!

Hi,

You can start by reading:

But here is a more detailed summary of some of your options:

Option 1: You can turn an InfoPath form into HTML for display only:

Option 2: You can develop your own viewer. Do do so, you can start from any
of these free C# Viewer (with code):

entry support!):
