Hi,

I thinks the best way for understand webservice is Patrick's book:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735621160/infopathdev0b-20/104-6431959-4661524

It's the better way to start with infopath and understand some good things on his process!

From the Publisher:

quote:
Learn how to use common design patterns to build innovative, XML-based enterprise solutions faster-with guidance from two veterans of the Microsoft InfoPath development team. A new program in the Microsoft Office System, InfoPath offers a rich development environment for creating a dynamic, easy-to-use, forms-based front end for business process and workflow solutions. The authors walk you through a three-tiered solution featuring InfoPath as the client, Web services and Microsoft BizTalk® in the middle tier, and Microsoft SQL Server™, Microsoft Exchange Server, or line-of-business applications on the back end. You'll learn best practices for using the most common design and deployment patterns to expedite your development efforts. And you'll see InfoPath in action through a series of vertical industry case-study examples.

He is available in french too! For other language I don't know!

I am searching thru thru the forum and have already found a post regarding submitting with a web service:

There are numerous forum topics on submitting data to data sources. Using a Web service you can do this as a single parameter through the wizard (no code required in the form). Using jscript or .NET you can programmatically call this data adapter. For a direct connection to DB, search the forum. I believe Agni has made some posts. I will ask him to paste in some links.

Submit to a secondary data source

Can anyone help me out with Jscript code to submit data entered into a single field to a secondary datasource (an access database table)?
Thanks!
