You could write your own custom web service. A quick Google search should reveal some links on that.
You could also purchase a third party web service such as DBXL. More info on that here:

To get the form from the server:* Click the 'edit form'-button in Sharepoint -> "Open this SharePoint list form in Microsoft InfoPath?" -> Yes -> InfoPathThen save this XSN locally.
Thanks!

Could you save the XSN locally and attach it to your next forum post? You can attach via the Options tab.
Actually, it would be great if you could:
(a) download the current XSN, save it locally, and attach it here
(b) make changes to the XSN, save it locally, and attach it here.
That would give us a chance to compare the forms and look for ...

You would most likely need to write code to achieve this. I can't think of anything in InfoPath (out of the box) to support this.
However, InfoPath forms based on SharePoint lists don't allow code, so that makes this even more difficult.

Hi,

There are other workaround, though none "easy". A quick Google search reveals this and other sites.
There is a free trial of qRules available on Qdabra.com, and Hilary's blog posts should be a pretty good starting point (link ...

You could use a web service to query the data. The web service would be running using an app pool, and the app pool identity would have permission to the SQL database (but the individual users would not).
You could also move the data to a SharePoint list and have the form query the data from there.
Good luck!

Hi-
It's a little difficult to understand what's going on. Are you saying you had a working InfoPath form?
Do the errors happen on all machines, some machines or one machine?
Are errors happening with all forms (perhaps indicating an issue in SharePoint) or just with one InfoPath form?
Please provide more details and we'll be glad ...

Hi Bret-
The "best" way really depends on what's available, i.e.
Do you have SharePoint available? (If there's no central DB, then assume there's no SharePoint either)
Do the users have InfoPath or will they need to fill out the form in the browser? (if there's no SharePoint, then we assume no browser forms - which ...

Hi-
Can you elaborate on what you wish to accomplish? The question is a little vague.
Thanks!
