    Multiple users submitting 1 form to SharePoint for status report

    I have an Excel form that multiple users fill out daily as a status report and email to me. I gather all of the submitted forms and manuall enter the submitted data in a new Excel spreadsheet which serves as the final report of everyone's status. I obviously need to automate this process. What I would like is to have 1 central location or URL for the form and multiple users should be able to access it simultaneously and submit their status. The submitted data should show up in a status report in SharePoint. I can't seem to do this with a custom list in SharePoint because the Excel form is too complex. How can I do this with InfoPath? Any other suggestions?

    I hope you get an answer soon.  I am trying to do the exact same thing.  i am a newb. 

    my boss is expecting this.  I too manually enter all the data and spit out a final status report.  i dont think the supervisors can access forms simultaneously, but it would be nice.  that would solve half the battle. 

     the only solution i have found, however i have not fully tested or finished, is to map to excel and manual export to excel, to a separate worksheet for each supervisor, then sum all sheets to spit out the chart/report.  i might as well continue to manually enter the data!

     please help!!!

    If your status report form saves its data to a database, like SQL or Access, you can use Excel to report on that data (thus, compile all the data in a single sheet). You can either base your form off a database or use a web service to submit to a database.
