Office 2003: InfoPath
-
So, Office 2003 has an interesting new component: InfoPath. What does everyone think about InfoPath? Good, bad, indifferent? New corporate maintenance nightmare? Don't let executives know that it even exists? Or, thank the stars that Microsoft created something to outcompete other offerings in the same space? What a piece of work is man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable . . . and yet to me, what is this quintessence of dust? -- Hamlet, Act II, Scene ii.

I think it's a really handy way to replace paper forms, or to replace MS Word forms (make them richer, and much easier to interact with). It also can be a handy front-end to a web service. Configuring it for any complex scenarios is kind of a pain, but I think they've improved some of that with this latest release. Marcie http://www.codeproject.com

So when someone with the desire for fillable, intranet-based corporate forms comes along, this is a solution we (we being the in-house app dev team) could recommend?

Yeah, I'd say so. It works for internet-based too, but each end-user has to have a copy of InfoPath installed on their local machine. Marcie http://www.codeproject.com
