Again, thanks for the response. I'll be sticking to SPD!

SPD workflows are not reusable, so there's not a template you can get. If you are a .NET developer and understand the Windows Workflow Foundation, then I'm sure you can find a workflow template to use for building one in Visual Studio. However, if you're not a .NET developer who knows WF and the SharePoint object model, I'd recommended making up something in SPD.

Thanks for the response warrtalon. Is there some kind of template to follow for approval workflows in SPD or Visual Studio?

You can't dynamically assign values in OOTB workflows. You would need to make your own custom workflow with SPD or Visual Studio.

In SharePoint 2010, you will be able to modify OOTB workflows in SPD, which awesome, but we can't do it in 2007.

SharePoint Approval Workflow - Field in InfoPath Form

I have used the out of the box approval workflow in SharePoint. I would like the approver to be someone (an email address field) provided in the infopath form. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
