1) I have an InfoPath form (section) that needs to be populated by User 1 and
then submitted.
2) Then User2 needs to retreive the data entered by User 1 and populate
another
section of the form.
3) Both users data needs to be stored together after User 2 submits
(re-submits).

Can this be done in InfoPath?

Thanks

When you say 'Populate another section of the form', do you mean entering
data manually or programmatically? Both ways, it's possible! It depends on
your application's architecture. Create two sections, one for user 1 and the
other for user 2. User 1 will enter data in his section. User 2 will enter
data in his own section. You can add functionality to copy user 1's data into
user 2's section. Is this what you are trying to do?

I've been trying to do something similar. A few questions:

1. Are you using Sharepoint in order to integrate the form with a
browser?
2. I'm assuming you're submitting to a database, Access or SQL?

The way I've done the re-submitting is to have some code that deletes
the original entry from the database before submitting the new data.
If I understand right, you want the second user to be able to be, for
example, put in a reference ID, press a button, and have the form load
the info that User 1 put in from the database to the form fields. If
that's the case, I'm not quite sure how to do that yet, but it's
definately doable.
