MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / October 2006Is InfoPath suitable for long documents?
We are a financial institution and have a standard due diligence questionnaire template that is 20+ pages long. The questions and answers are all in text. Sometimes we change the wording of questions, or add/delete questions. We currently do this in Word, but get bogged down with formatting issues. I am debating switching to InfoPath so we can integrate the answers into SharePoint and SQL. Is InfoPath suitable for a long document such as this, or is it mainly used for shorter forms such as billing and expense reports? Many thanks! Hi, InfoPath is right solution for this kind of work, but you will have one issue when you are add/delete a question, becouse you will have to change the template. When you change the template, (you add or delete some question) you will change InfoPath DataSource (schema), and the old question forms will not open with the new template. To solve this issue, you will have to make a templates forlder in SharePoint, where you will store each version of the questionnaire template, with uniwue name, and start the new forms frot that location, using OpenXmlDocuemt SharePoint JScript function, in order to save the xml document, linken to the appropriate template, so later you will open old questionnaire forms with old templates.

You can put tabs on the top of the form to group the questions and decrease the vertical scrolling, you can also have optional sections that only display when needed to decrease the length of the form > We are a financial institution and have a standard due diligence > questionnaire template that is 20+ pages long.
