Pasting my same answer from MSDN:

Not easily as you can't natively populate lists with SharePoint data, but there are some possible alternatives:

Create a workflow (as simple as using SPD, but you can build in VS if you want) that triggers upon form submission and creates list items in each of those lists with the relevant data from the form. Just map the form fields to the fields in each list item. Be sure each field in the form is promoted during the publishing process
Write code that parses out the data and creates those list items (basically a workflow, I guess)
Wait for Qdabra's qRules version 2.0, which will have the ability to send data to multiple lists upon submission. This is code you inject to the form and then use rules to trigger the commands
Use the CAML method to map to lists via XML, but I'm not sure if you can do that for multiple forms

Forms Question

hi,

I am wondering if this type of functionality would be possible with info path forms:

create a form foran internet website
user populates form and submits
the data in the form is then split into 3 sctions and each of those sections populates a list

So essentially one form populates 3 different lists in sharepoint.

Cheers
