It synchronizes the data from a SharePoint or Office 365 site down to a local DB.&amp;nbsp;The tool is inexpensive. Here&amp;#39;s a link to a summary video we did a couple years ago that shows the SharePoint sync to local SQL: &lt;a href="http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/DBXLClient.aspx."&gt;http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/DBXLClient.aspx.&lt;/a&gt; Current version is v2.7 and we&amp;#39;ve added several enhancements in the last two years - for example, you do not need IIS on the client and we have improved synchronization to scale to larger data sets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To submit the forms locally via email&amp;nbsp;... I think the new version of Office 365 (ShP 2013) lets you configure Exchange to support external emailing of&amp;nbsp;forms to a library, and if so, this would be simple to setup. The other option would be to email to a central account and have a &amp;quot;gatekeeper&amp;quot; (who has O365 permissions) open and submit to the form library.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You could add an Azure database to this configuration to allow for centralized storage, or you could have everyone running the DBXL Client standalone tool. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The per machine license fee is $995 but we do offer significant discounts for bulk purchases (5 or more). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please let us know if you&amp;#39;re interested - I&amp;#39;d be happy to arrange a demo.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Feasibility of using InfoPath + SharePoint Online to link up with Local SQL Server</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/86337.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 24 Jan 2013 02:29:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:86337</guid><dc:creator>dreamerkan</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/86337.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=86337</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Dear all,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am complete new in InfoPath &amp;amp; Share Point.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We heard that Share Point Online can do worklfow for approval and data collaboration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below is our wish list. Hope the wish can be made it to real.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Our case is, we needour sub-contract factory to provide the sub-contract price for the items and would like to use InfoPath &amp;amp; Share Point to simplify the input process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, we also want the whole process to be done by email. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For example, send an email to the sub-contract factory with item information, photo, etc with data from local SQL server and form generate by InfoPath. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then, the factory input the price in the email through the form and reply to us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The replied email with the price data can be integrated back to our SQL server.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the software, we had implement Office 365 with Share Point Online, Exchange Online and InfoPath from Office Professional Plus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can this flow be possible?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ivan&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
