Can anyone recommend a decent beginners book? I am good with office
applications (MOS Master/Instructor) but not very good with the technical
stuff. I just need to design the forms and specify all the fields for a SQL
programmer to do the hard stuff...

Thanks

Ric

I'm just wondering why you would need a book to just to the easy stuff.
Like seriously, to put a table on the page, you click the button that
looks like a table. If you want to put a textbox in a cell of your
table, you go to controls and drag a textbox into the cell. InfoPath
does everything else for you. If you are bent on editing the field's
properties, you go to the data source (located on the task pane) and
right click -> properties.

But I suppose, there is still the ingenious, InfoPath for Dummies
series of "Dummies" Books. Go pick up one of those, they are perfect
for beginners.

Ciao,
Matt

I want a book to do the EASY stuff not the blindingly obvious stuff that I
could do with a bag on my head!

I have found "Developing Solutions with Microsoft Infopath" to be most
helpful. I am a newbie to InfoPath and am not a programmer - so I need all
the help I can get. It doesn't answer all the questions but at least gives
you a chance. Enjoy
