Why&nbsp;are you using InfoPath in the&nbsp;first place? To create an e-form that automates your business process, right?&nbsp;Excel is not an e-form editor and doesn&#39;t provide a discrete data payload for managing approvals, etc. (for example, if you have workflow requirements). Having multiple people edit the same Excel&nbsp;form is also a challenge&nbsp;to setup.</p><p>Why not just figure out&nbsp;why those user&#39;s can&#39;t change the form? If&nbsp;you are using SharePoint, maybe they just need to be&nbsp;granted Contribute access to the form library. If you aren&#39;t using SharePoint and the users don&#39;t have InfoPath installed, you&#39;re not going to be able to use Excel. It just won&#39;t do the same validation that the InfoPath form does.</p><p>Sorry for being the bearer or bad news, but hopefully you have SharePint and you can drink the permissions brew.</p><p>Best,</p><p>P</p>Infopath To Excelhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/84654.aspxThu, 22 Nov 2012 11:45:49 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:84654Jason_han0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/84654.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=84654I have a infopath form where some users are able to make adjustment to it and some don&#39;t.
