Compatibility Question ivonnaholla[ at ]gmail.com 11/14/2008 1:30:36 PM Hello, This is my first go using infopath in an attempt to convice my employer to purchase a (sharepoint) server to make life easier. I am trying to send a fairly lengthy survey out to about 800 users spread across different networks. I do not have a sharepoint server or the ability to post to a server and the participants will have either some form of infopath (2007 or 2003) or nothing at all. I am trying to figure out if infopath will meet my needs and be able to save me some time. Are there compatibiliy / functionality issues I need to worry about? If so, what are they? What is the best method of dissemination (all users will have outlook of some version)? Is there a way to save infopath as a webform that will open up in browser and allow data verification for those unfortunate souls lacking infopath- I am unable to allow outside devices access? Any suggestions or help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

RE: Compatibility Question Harikrishna 11/14/2008 1:50:02 PM Hi, You can make your form browser enabled if it has to be opened in a system without infopath in it, but it has to be published to sharepoint running infopath form services.

It was unclear to me if the ability to view a form in a browser was separate from form services. According to your reply, they are not. So, my best method of dissemination would be outlook, but for those unfortunate souls lacking infopath I would have no solution or workaround? Also, Are there compatibiliy / functionality issues between 2007 and 2003 I need to worry about? If so, what are they?
