I&amp;#39;m a complete newbie on Infopath - until this morning I didn&amp;#39;t even know it existed!  

I&amp;#39;m looking into ways of sorting out staff timesheets that will also allow me also to track information about individual projects - each week i have timesheets from about 10 staff, each working on lots of different projects rather than any one job for lengthy periods of time.  What I&amp;#39;d like is for the staff to enter the hours spent on each project in their individual timesheets then for managers to be able to access information relating to a particular project without having to manually look through all the separate timesheets.

I know that I can easily create the timesheet form, what I&amp;#39;m not sure of is how I can actually then use the information collected - particularly as most of the team&amp;#39;s computers do not have Infopath or Sharepoint installed.  Some advice on whether Infopath is the right tool for the job would be really helpful, then I can decide how much time to put into learning how to use it.</description></item></channel></rss>
