Hello,

I have not used info path before to create forms and have a question before
I try adn start this project.

I eventually want to create many forms for our business, however wante to
start with a small project. This is a service request for our IT department.
We do not use a SQL server, so I was wondering if I create a form can I

1. create a table of responses for my datavalidation table where?
2. upload the form once complete to our wersite, 9we use Sharpoint Designer
and I can not find the workflow wizard to create a form there)?
3. this form will be something to the effect of "waht type of problem are
you repirting?" if A is selected then I want the user to be directed to
section C of the form and if B is selected then the user can be directed to
part D of the form.

Is any of this possible?

Kim, I have only been working with IP for a short time, but I think
everything you are asking can be done, if I'm understanding your questions.
2. There is a publish option when you are in design view, that starts a
wizard that will assist you in publishing the form out to a fileshare or
SharePoint.
1. When desiging the table, make the datatypes and lengths appropriate for
the data you plan to put there, but the form can do data validation to ensure
the proper data is entered, via assistance, like a "date picker" for example.
It will assist the user in clicking on a date from a graphical calendar.
3. This could be accomplished at least 2 ways, one is to use Sections in the
form; they can be optional based on the data entered. This is called a
"choice section". The other way is to use the IP views option, which provides
multiple views of the data via a single form.

Hope this helps.
