MSDN Article: Turn User Input into XML with Forms Using Office InfoPath

Hi,

  Microsoft's Developer Prawda (aka MSDN Magazine
sports an InfoPath article by Aaron Skonna
(DevelopMentor) in the September 2003 issue titled
"Turn User Input into XML with Custom Forms Using
Office InfoPath 2003".

  Here's the official executive summary:

  Office InfoPath 2003 is a new Microsoft Office
product that lets you design your own data collection
forms that, when submitted, turn the user-entered data
into XML for any XML-supporting process to use. With
an InfoPath solution in place, you can convert all
those commonly used paper forms into Microsoft
Office-based forms and end the cycle of handwriting
and reentering data into your systems. Today
organizations are beginning to realize the value of
the mountains of data they collect every day, how hard
it is to access it, and are striving to mine it
effectively. InfoPath will aid in the design of
effective data collection systems. Here the author
shows you how to get started.

  Aaron's article agenda includes:

  * InfoPath Overview
  * Designing Form Templates
  * Starting from XML Schema or WSDL
  * Saving and Publishing Forms
  * Filling Out Forms
  * Submitting Forms
  * Advanced Features
