I have a sharepoint server and would like to create infopath forms for my
users to fill out. Does each user need to have infopath installed, or can
they fill out the forms ina browser and submit them without any additional
software requirements beyond a compliant browser?

btw - what browsers are compliant?

Thank you in a dvance for any clarity you can provide.

InfoPath 2007 and SharePoint 2007 will allow you to create a browser-based
form. These have a lot of limitations and can have performance issues--just
depends on what you want to do. All major browsers are supported to one
degree or another (some have issues).

Otherwise, each user will need InfoPath installed.

Thanks Greg. Any chance you could direct me to a document or resource that
would describe those limitations to me?

I don't know whether anyone has compiled a list of resources, but if you
search around the web and newsgroups for limitations on InfoPath browser
forms, you'll probably be able to come up with a pretty good list.

Great. I'll see what I can find, and post whatever I come across.
