I just started looking into InfoPath today for a solution to a project at
work. I think this will work for what I need to do but I have a few simple (I
hope) questions I would like to ask to make sure this is really the product I
should use:
Do all users that will be filling out a form have to have InfoPath installed
on their PC or do I (as the developer) need to be the only one that has it
installed?
I noticed in the demo that the sample form did some data verification on an
expense number or something. Can this actually make a call to the database to
validate or was it just some simple form validation to see if the entry
format was correct? My thinking is just simple form validation because it
would be impossible to make the db call when they are offline.
Are the InfoPath forms that would get distributed to employees just xml or
doc files? So this is something they could just store on their laptop and
fill out whenever they feel like it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated in helping make a decision to move
forward with this.
