Infopath as Survey Tool

[Dale Fye]

I'd like to send out a survey to a bunch of individuals who all have Office,
but may be running XP, 2000, 2003, or 2007, and may be running the standard
version rather than the Professional version. If I create an Infopath form
using Office 2003, can I email this to the various recipients, and if so,
what are they going to see? and what will I see when I get it back? How
would I incoroprate their results into an Access database?

Hi Dale.

Users of InfoPath froms either need InfoPath (rich client) or a web server
which will render them in a browser.

It sounds like not all of your users will have InfoPath so you would need a
server based solution.

You may want to check out the Database Accelerator package from
http://www.qdabra.com which is an installabel package of tools for your web
server to query and submit to SQL. It also includes a Forms Viewer for
hosting simple forms in the web browser. It might be what you need.
