I'm a newbie here trying to use InfoPath.

I created a form, a membership application, for a credit union that my boss
wants me to put on their website. He wants to allow users to enter their
personal data, have it saved in an Access database, then have the user be
able to print out a completed form via a web browser.

Can this be done using InfoPath, and if so, how? As you can see, web
development is not my forte.

Thanks!

InfoPath is a very robust forms creator and editor. With InfoPath, one can
quickly create form with little or no code behind the scenes. With the full
set of Office-like feature, users with InfoPath can than easily fill out
those forms. With that said, InfoPath is not a web-forms development suite.
For your forms to be filled in by users, those users would also need to have
InfoPath, not just a web browser.

Thanks for you reply...

One thing I'm wondering about is it possible to create the form on top of an
Access database then put it on a website for users to fill in? The goal is
to have the data saved in Access.

Thanks.

Jeff, you could try to see if Frontpage 2003 fits your needs. It has a
wizard to automatically create an Access based Website.

Start Frontpage, File New, New Website, Web Package solutions, General-tab,
Database Interface Wizard....etc.

HTH,
