Saving form results, simple question

[Ruslan Popov]

Hello,

Is it possible to do the following with InfoPath.

1. I have an XML document type, that is an XSD scheme.

2. I want to make a nice-looking form for filling out by users, conforming
to my scheme.

3. As the form is filled in, I want the results saved in XML format. Not the
InfoPath format, but my original XML format defined by my XSD scheme.

Is it possible to save form results directly to my XML format; and is that
possible by mean of applying an XSLT (of course, in this case I want the
XSLT generated automatically).

Thank you.

You can create an InfoPath form based off your own external schema. The only
difference in the saved xml created by InfoPath is the processing instruction
at the top of the file that indicates that InfoPath is the application in
which the XML data file should be opened. The processing instruction doesn't
affect the schema of the data in any way.

This you can remove after the document has been created so the XML is no
longer tied to InfoPath (and therefore opened within InfoPath).
