I need to produce a number of forms for my division.
Can I just produce an InfoPath form as a standalone that someone could fill
out and e-mail to their supervisor? Or does it need to be the front end for a
database or other application that stores the data?
If the latter, is it possible to distribute the InfoPath form together with
the database to each person who needs it - right now placing the info on a
shared server is not an option?

Yes, your form can be standalone. Your users just need InfoPath installed on
their machine to modify the form that was emailed to them.
No need to have DB or Sharepoint to pass forms (and/or data) around.

Or you can create your form in InfoPath then convert it with InfoView (
www.infoview.net) and have end users fill in the Infoview web forms without
deploying InfoPath to everyone (in case you have not deployed InfoPath yet).

Check the eval at www.infoview.net
