Migrating a Lotus Notes Application to the Microsoft Platform

Hi All,

I am about to migrate a lotus notes application to the Microsoft Platform. I
am currently targeting InfoPath 2003 and Windows SharePoint Services 2003 to
accomplish this critical mission, but I am running into some issues:

- In the Notes application main form, there are dialog boxes being shown for
selecting data. There is limitation in passing data from InfoPath form to
pop up screens. Would using Web Part be better to overcome InfoPath
limitations?
- While submitting the form, there are rules by which decision is made to
sent a mail or not. Would this require workflow functionality in SharePoint?
- In Lotus Notes, sending mail functionality is embedded in the form while
InfoPath would require components such as CDONTS, Outlook Client…
- On top of all these, my customer has acknowledged that they prefer a pure
..Net solution…Has anybody migrated a Lotus application to .Net? If so what is
your experience? What is the advantage of using InfoPath/WSS over pure .Net
solution?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
