Multiple InfoPath forms in one library?

H

Harold Crump

Greetings,

I am building a WSS site (deployed on SPS 2003) that will contain a
document library.
The document library will contain a set of documents and some InfoPath
forms.

The trouble is - InfoPath will NOT allow me to publish a form to a
document library.
It needs a forms library.
However, a forms library allows me to publish only one type of form.

My requirement is that I need a place (document library or whatever)
that can contain documents as well as different types of InfoPath
forms, which the users can fill out.

If it were only one type of InfoPath form, I could have used a forms
library and simply uploaded the documents there.
But I need to publish more than one type of form in the same location.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Harold

Hi Harold,

The reason that you can only post one form is because it stores the template
and can only store one template. That way when someone clicks on "Fill out
this Form" they get the template.

I would suggest you create a tab (page) dedicated to your documents and
forms and then store them there, that way they are all in one place.

Good luck
Diana

Hi Diana --

How do I go about creating this tab that you refer to?
Is it a built-in component?
Or did you mean a custom web part?

Thanks,
Harold

Hi there. On the right of the screen where it says "Modify This Workspace"
choose "Add Page" (that is what I meant by adding a tab, sorry I should have
said page)

You can then add a Form Library Web part for each form you have but they can
all be on the same page.

Hope that helps.
