Hello,

Although I am new at using InfoPath, I do see the value of this application.
What I am interested in is knowing whether it is possible to create a tabbed
interface to the infopath forms. In other words, is it possible to have 2 or
more forms, populated with repetitive data (demographics as an example) and
accessed from tabs at the top, or even a customized taskpane.

I would also be interested in knowing whether it is possible to choose
sections of the form that would be visible on screen, but not printed
(optional) as some information on forms should not be faxed off to other
organizations (or electronically transferred). I am looking at all these
questions, as I work within a healthcare organization.

Hi,

There are no out of the box tab controls, but you can simulate tabs by
using buttons and changing the styling and setting a rule on each
button to switch to a different view.

The easy way to solve your print problem is to create a print view by either
leaving off the sections that are not required or create a temporary field
that when selected hides certain fields or sections.

Hope this helps

For a tabbed form idea, take a look at the excellent www.infopathdev.com site.
