Hi Martin,
You can use the same schema and submit the forms to a Sharepoint or a Webservice like Database Accelerator.
You can send us one of your solutions we can analyse it and send the informationback(Ofcourse we will charge some fee for that).

Hi Martin,
One solution is to install a Web service such as our Database Accelerator. You can download a free trial here:http://www.infopathdev.com/downloads/trials/default.aspx?i=4c6d41c47f594c9baada1b40918a306f

How to convert form from database source to XML

eyllonm — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 17:24:01 GMT

I've created a number of forms based on a medium complexity SQL datsbase schema and all work quite well. Unfortunately our enterprise blocks database ports so noone outside of the network can benefit from the forms. I would like to switch now to using xml datasources so each form can be viewed without needing access to a db connection.
How do I accomplish this without having to start over again? I know that all the xml and xsd files are available by using 'Extract form files' but I still don't know how to use them to get back my form without starting over. I also have to mention that some of the forms already have useful data in them and I make extensive use of Master/Detail controls.

Thanks in advance for your help

Martin
