Silly newbie question...

[Dana]

I've searched the group but did not find an answer so here it is. I've
just learned of InfoPath and have a simple question: Does a from
created in InfoPath require the form user to have InfoPath on their
system in order to fill out the form? Or can they fill the form using
another software, maybe Word? Appreciate the answer as I don;t yet have
InfoPath but will in the future....Thanks

Hi. Actually this is one of the most frequently asked questions in this group. )

Yes, the user is required to have InfoPath installed (assuming IP2003).

If using InfoPath 2007, the user can use Outlook or Internet Explorer to fill out the form under certain circumstances.
