&lt;p&gt;Easiest way is to install the Qdabra&amp;#39;s free database accelerator trial (&lt;a title="DBXL" href="http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/DBXL.aspx"&gt;DBXL&lt;/a&gt;) that we created back in 2004 to address this issue. It lets you quickly create a mapping between XML and SQL without writing any code and it contains a host of other features to fill gaps between InfoPath and SQL.&amp;nbsp;There&amp;#39;s still no other easy alternative to quickly map existing forms to SQL. You could use BCS in MOSS 2010 but it&amp;#39;s more work to create the mappings and there are numerous issues (for example, can&amp;#39;t easily change database or XML and update, mapping to deep table structures is also a lot of work). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You could hire a developer to create your own Web service, but you&amp;#39;d spend more money, the mapping wouldn&amp;#39;t be data-driven, and it wouldn&amp;#39;t work for all of your templates. That&amp;#39;s one of the nice things about DBXL - it works for all templates. It also improves SharePoint submit times and supports server-side filtering for faster query to populate dropdowns. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking on the bright side, at least you didn&amp;#39;t start from a SQL connection. Then, you&amp;#39;d have a much more difficult migration path. &lt;/p&gt;

I was looking to create an additional data connection that would be used when the form status is complete. For this data connection, I am looking to load all of the form data into a Access or SQL database. I&amp;#39;m having a difficult time - does anyone know how this is done?</description></item></channel></rss>
