Upload and populate SharePoint with InfoPath forms

[luisxx]

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to develop a few simple forms using InfoPath 2003 that
posts information to SharePoint. I'm very new to these products and
would appreciate any feed back.

First, upload a file from a InfoPath form. I would like to develop a
form in InfoPath that by clicking a form button, the user could browse
their local computer and attach a file that would be uploaded to
SharePoint at some remote location.

Second,
When the file is transferred to SharePoint, I would like the metadata
about the file, to populate the columns when viewed in SharePoint. Not
really sure if anyone can catch a newbie's thought on this one.
After it's uploaded, any information transferred in the upload like
date, time, general information, be displayed in SharePoint as columns
like they could be viewed in a spreadsheet or listing of a database.


If anyone could shed some light on this, any help would appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Luis
