    Simple form, no database required

    I have been asked to make a simple tracking sheet, something people can use to see the workflow of certain projects.  It's just that we've done away with paper products and have started using sharepoint.  The forms needed don't need to be bound to any particular database, they just need to be editable.  Hell, it might be easier to do this in word.  I have already created the form and am having problems saving it into an editable web page file.  The form is compatible, I've checked the forums for information but I get lost in all the programmer jargon.

    The form only has a few fields.  Name of project, date due. A to and from field and a date sent field.  I've already completed the form, but every block is bound to a field.  I don't need that so much.  Management wants to be able to open the form just to gain accountability for who currently needs to work on the project.  Although I am computer literate, my primary duty is flying (Air Force).  I have been asked to incorporate a bunch of things I have never used before into the new way our squadron does things.  Any help would be great.

    Hello Itshurleytime and welcome to the forums,

    It sounds like you want to have users fill out the form using a web browser and possibly have this information viewable by your management. Is this correct? If so, your management doesn't even necessarily need to open the form to see who is accountable - you could just use "promoted fields" in the library the form is published to in order for your managers to see at a glance who is responsible for what. Is this something you are interested in doing? Please post back so I know exactly how to help.
