Make infopath forms and let others fill them in without infopath

[Robert Carlsson]

Hi
I have a question
I have Infopath and want to build different forms for an example, a status
report in a project, etc. I have different players in different projects. The
problem is that the project members doesen't have Infopath. But I would like
to display my forms at our webserver and e-mail the link in to mye questions
and they fill in the form and submit it into my database. And from that I can
collect the data into excel or word for reports to the project.
How do I do this? is it possible?

Help me please.

Sincerely
Robert Carlsson

Hi Robert,


You may want to do a POC on this:

File > Export to > Web...
Save a mht file
Extract the htm file (0001.txt) from the MHT using winzip or the Web Archive
tool at MS.
In a visual editor (FrontPage & the likes, KSDHTMLEdit is suffice) change
the DIV static boxes etc to INPUTs.
Wrap it in a form and post it to your own ASP page (I _would_ use MAPI to
email it).

This _seems_ like a lot of work, but if its a generic often used form, it
_would_ be worth it.

This will only be useful if your forms DO NOT use repeating sections & the
like.


hope this helps
