MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming Forms / May 2007Outlook forms vs Sharepoint folders/tasks
In looking to streamline some of our small office tasks, we were wondering about the different sets of "tools" available from the various Microsoft software worlds. We have been reading thru the newsgroups, learning as we go, and following links and ideas that might be discussed. ie - Outlook + forms to submit data via email to our Exchange Server Sharepoint + docs/tasks to define & store data on our SBS server reqs - Outlook 2003 for RPC direct access via Internet We are trying to discuss ideas that might be appropriate for our small office to submit Project setup requests, and then submit Time & Expenses against those projects. We are currently doing it via generic email messages and our office manager is using Quickbooks to handle things manually. Did you have a particular question? You might want to expand your research to include Microsoft InfoPath, which is in many ways superior to Outlook custom forms for the tasks you describe.

I'm not sure InfoPath comes as part of SBS, but will look at it by itself. At times, we may not be able to ask specific questions, but more of building knowledge so we will be able to ask the questions.... Did you have a particular question?

I doubt very much that Sue - by suggesting InfoPath - meant that you should extend the number of newsgroups this message goes to from two to four. Could you please start asking specific (different) questions to the different newsgroups instead of this "let's bother everyone" approach ?
