Solutions for Infopath

[Michael Sainz]

Hey all,
I am just in love with Infopath 2003 for all the solutions that can be
performed with this piece of software, but there is one question that I do
have. As I understand it, IP was designed for inputting information (forms)
and storing them in XML, or database, but what about viewing the
information. Is this one of the design points it was intended for? Say I
want to build a list of information on my clients so that I can easily
access them. I'm not inputting information because it is already in a
database, I just want to look at it. Is this program designed for this?

Michael,

You definitely could use InfoPath as an 'read-only' viewer of your data (of
course provided all of your users needing to see the data have it on their
machines). But of course since the data is just XML, you could easily forgo
InfoPath as use IE as your default read only viewer. InfoPath, since you
have it, would make it easy with no effort at all....
