Newbie-- Need some help

[SAK]

Can we invoke infopath from VB.NET application and pass it to any form we
want to open?
If so, when we finish entering data into that form, can we save the data
into a SQL server Database?

Can we pass information to Infopath to prepopulate the forms?

I really appreciate if any one reply me soon

You can just launch the InfoPath XML file and that should open the InfoPath application.

To save your InfoPath form data to SQL you must have your form template set up to use SQL (or a Web service connected to SQL).

To prepopulate your form, just load the XML in your VB.NET app, fill in the XML nodes with values, then launch the XML as an InfoPath form.
