Hi there Everyone!This is my very first post at this forum as I am very new to InfoPath but very excited about the possibilities it offers. However unfortunatelly I have a big problem.
At my company everyone has/uses (MS Office 2007 - including Access and InfoPath). I am holding many many meetings with many participants. Previously I have used Outlook Calender to organize these meetings but many times I have lost tracking the dates/times of meetings. The problem was that many people did not reply using the calendar, some of them had some comments in the calendar, and as I hold 2-3 meetings/day I got confused very often about the information I received. So I decided to help somehow myself out.
Now I have an Access database with columns containing the recipents name, email address, comments and many more. I can send this database for data collection and every reply gets back to the relevant column so I have now everything in one place. Then I heard about InfoPath and I realized how nice interface/form can be created. And here is my problem. I can link my MS Access fields to the InfoPath form but when I want to give the form the option to send the form with outlook it does not let me. I get the message that this type of form can be put only on shared drive. Why can't I send it through outlook? Is there an option to collect data by using an InfoPath form (linked to MS Access database table) and sending it out with Outlook?
Thank you very much for your help in advance!
