&lt;p&gt;Our DBXL Web Service supports your scenario today. We have a separate &amp;quot;system&amp;quot; form that keeps assignment information (i.e. the history of your user assignments). Anyway, we can show you a demo if you are interested. We use the taskpane to show workflow status, taxonomy info and history of assignments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can also use SharePoint workflows and InfoPath 2007. However, the users will have to go to SharePoint to see history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you would like to build this from scratch, I recommend using a database and a separate table with a row for assignment (with columns: ID, assignee, assignedTo, date, time, status). To submit this data will require a separate Web Service to write the values, but you can do it. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course, 10 minutes and DBXL and you are done, but if you like to spend lots of time and money, go for it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>try to gauge if this can be done in infopath/sharepoint</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/41846.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2009 18:02:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:41846</guid><dc:creator>nwill</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/41846.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=41846</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;basically my overall goal is trying to find the simplest way to do this: (I have never used infopath)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have two different forms &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-pretty simple forms with just a table with drop down menus and editable textboxes as cells&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-also ability to for a user to add more rows to the table&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These forms will be hosted on a sharepoint website and then I will need the ability for users to send an email of the form they filled out.&amp;nbsp; Finally, I need a master log form that will contain the data from the forms various users submitted, which will also be hosted on the sharepoint site.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My biggest concern is finding a way to let users email their forms to themselves and a way for the master form to read data from the child forms.&amp;nbsp; (use of a database may be an option)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Specific details are not&amp;nbsp;necessary at this time, just looking for some suggestions if this can be done&amp;nbsp;without much trouble&amp;nbsp;in infopath and deployed to the sharepoint site.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank You&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
