MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / August 2007Couple of Questions
Can I get InfoPath2007 without buying the who Office System? I have InfoPath2003 and I just recently purchased Small Business 2007 and I am looking to uprade to InfoPath2007. Second Question: If I design a form to be shared by my emplyees do they all have to have InfoPath loaded on their computers? Can I place a form on my local server? Beth Melton has helped me tremendously by I didn't quite understand her last post. My original question is pasted below from another forum. I am a school principal and need a form that teachers can fill out disciplinary information about a child and email/send to me and I can add data about student consequeces and send it back to teacher and a copy to a student file. What type of application would I use to create such a form? InfoPath, Word, Adobe Acrobat? Once I know what application to use I will be able to design a pretty simple form to use. One note...eventually, but not now, I would like to be able to track the student disciplinary data in a database. Thanks Del Dobbs I have the same question. I manage a large national project and am currently receiving data from a spreadsheet from 35 different sources on a quarterly basis. I'd like to have each of these 35 agencies complete the data on this system and then I can download the data. My questions are this: 1. is this possible with this system? 2. do these agencies have to have access to the 2007 software to access this feature? 3. If no, do they access this page through a website? These are basic questions and if you could refer me to the appropriate place to get additional information I would really appreciate it. > Can I get InfoPath2007 without buying the who Office System?

MOSS also gives you the added benefits of an easy to use/customise intranet, document management, workflows etc & with the academic pricing you can get I'd recommend looking at it. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointserver/FX100492001033.aspx > Can I get InfoPath2007 without buying the who Office System?

What is WSS v3 (Windows Sharepoint Server version 3?), and then what is Forms Server? Is this an application I need my Provider to load onto my Windows SharePoint Server? Much appreciate the help.. I am brand new to SharePoint and InforPath..

I work for a large school district and I do not think they are going to reconfigure the network for the wishes on ONE principal. Can the form be placed on the server our district uses or does it have to be the WSS that you refer to? Who knows maybe that is the server we use, but I do not think so.

If they don't send them the links I've provided & tell them to talk to they're Microsoft Rep as the price for academic institutes is quite reasonable. I'm currently doing a lot of work for a local school around MOSS with electronic forms & workflows. They're really happy with the result. >I am also a bit confused by all the server teminology.

Each user have Info path installed. Option 2. Have my service provider who currently provides Share Point service to upgrade to SharePoint 2007 which includes Form Server (which is new to SharePoint 2007). Or move to a provider who does. Option 3. Build my own share Point server 2007 and host it. (not likely) Thanks again Andy for you help. If I messed up above or overlooked an option please let me know. Take care all. Dunner good luck with the school. OnPar > WSS v3 = Windows Sharepoint Services version 3 > [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > >> > Thanks > >> > Del Dobbs |
