Sharepoint 2007 + Infopath 2007 Idea - Questions

C

Christoph

Hi folks,

I am a apprentice in an IT company and I am working on my project for
my final exam. I have researched for weeks without getting enough
information to complete my tasks. So I hope you can help me a little
by pointing me into the right directions.

Here is deal:

For short, I want a workflow that can read informations (filled by a
emloyee) out of an Infopath 2007 file that is created by a template
given in the documents library and use this information.

In the end an employee creates a new infopath ducument using the given
template, fills out the form and submits it. An IT-employee gets an e-
mail telling him to review the document and add informations needed
for an active directory account creation. He fills in the data and
clicks a checkbox "Form is filled correctly - Add user to Active
Directory" and saves the document. The workflow reads the checkbox
and, as it is checked, reads the user data and creates the active
directory account.

Approach No. 1 was to create an InfoPath 07 file with managed code in
it, so that the main part of the "work" is done my the document
itself. I failed pretty much early as I am unable to create a Infopath
template within VS .NET 2005 (I get a file not found error on creating
the project - no information on the internet available to this...).

Approach No. 2 would be a workflow doing what I described for short. I
failed to find an example code to do this.

So I would be REALLY happy I anyone could give me a link to some
sample code/project, doing some simple thing as reading a single
textfield of an infopath file and mail it to the originator of the
workflow.

I know its no simple task but I think this has been done by someone
before me... so, please help :-/

Best regards
Christoph Schmidt
