    Yes it is possible

    You didnt say which bit your stuck on?

    I have always struggled getting info from sharepoint lists but it is possible, hopefully someone else will help you with this bit

    To submit the form to a sharepoint using a field as the file name is alot easier, click tools, data connection, add, choose submit data, and then continue through wizard (it's quite self explanatory but dont forget to allow overwrites)

    Re: pre-populate the infopath form from the sharepoint

    Thanks for the immediate replies ,

    But actually i have one big list, in that i have one column ex URL(Based on the URl,other information will be displayed).

    The form should get pre-populated when the form is opened i.e., on OnLoad event based on the URL and i have to submit to the form library in the OnLoad itself with the pre-populated information.

    I should do this process for 1000 URL's(Recursively with out opening the form for 1000 times and subitting it).Is there any way i can do this,using VB script or Java script. please reply back as early as possible....

    Is there any way to pass a value to infopath form on loading..

    Yes, there is a way to pass InfoPath a value on load. You can stuff the open DOM with a value and call the "New from Solution" method through script. Also, this blog post has some interesting info:

    I want to access a web service dynamically. Likehttp://server/sites/site1/lists.asmx and next timehttp://server/sites/site2/lists.asmx and so on. Is it possible through VBScript.

    You could just create two data connections, one for each of the above.
