what can infopath do?

[greg]

Hello,
I am looking at InfoPath. To solve a problem.
We have an XML schema and file. To make it very simple, let me call it a
WBS.
Lets say, it has objects for Stage, Activity and Tasks. And each one has
attributes. And of course references to each other.
We are looking to build some forms to update all of this information.
Add new Stages, Activities, or tasks.
Add new attributes.
Change values of attributes.
Change names of stages, activities, tasks
etc.....

It would be nice to automatically build some forms. That can do this. And
keep up to date when the schema changes.

Can forms be built automatically from a schema?
Or is it more of a manual thing. Draging out attributes, etc...

thanks for any help

You can build IP forms in code (I'm doing it now).

As far as changes to a schema, if you append only, and don't or rename then
IP can deal automatically. Otherwise design your schema to be flexible so
that you can add information without changing the schema.
