Help creating blank form

[Txlonghorn76]

I am creating a weekly update for the team. There are some fields such as
Project Name and Project Manager that will always remain the same. Those I
would like to have query pull from Access into the fields. There are other
fields such as the weekly progress notes that will need to be entered weekly.
Any suggestions on how to best design this form? I know the basics of
InfoPath but this seems more complicated than I originally thought. Thanks!

Although I was unable to understand your requirement from the
description, but for fetching data from access database, you will need
to query it through secondary data connection(s), use rules to
populate the data in the form fields. Also, if you are designing a
browser compatible form, then you can write a web service method and
utilise it as a secondary data connection for the form.

For submission or saving the data, it again depends on your requirement, i.e., whether you want to save the data in sharepoint form library or some backend datanase, for ex. Access, and the type of form you want to design (whether it is a form meant to open in InfoPath client or it is a browser compatible form).

Hope above description helps.

Do let me know if you need further information.
