Hi Everyone,

I am looking into creating a form for data capture that has both
online and offline abilities.  Infopath came up as solution
possibility but I'm not sure if it can handle all of the
requirements.  I was hoping someone would be able to help me with
these questions:

1) We are looking for the ability for multiple people to view/edit the
same form.  Is this possible?  I.e. Can I have a form submitted to a
central server and then other individuals look and/or edit the same
form?  Is there a master/slave form relationship?
2) Is it possible to have dropdown values come from a SQL database?
Will this work offline?  i.e. Is there a publisher/subscribe ability
so that I could have the dropdown values available offline?
3) How can I accommodate history within Infopath?  I want to be able
to track changes to a form when people save from a previous version.
4) Can Infopath generate an EDITABLE PDF form?  Keyword is Editable

Thanks for your help!
The prospect of using Infopath looks pretty exciting!

Another requirement:

5) In Infopath, can the user submit their form to a server, and later
open the same form, update, and resubmit again?
