InfoPath Dev

Hi Steve, To trigger SharePoint alerts based on a value in your form's date field you will have to write code.

Hello I took over Sharepoint admin (and hence InfoPath forms) as an extra job in my company a few months ago. I'd never played with either until that point but everything has been fairly straightforward.....until now! We use Sharepoint 2003.

Hi Binay, Sorry I misunderstood your scenario. We haven't done much work embedding InfoPath in a web-page. Sorry I cannot help you further.

Or, if you have SharePoint, just convert the data connections to UDC files. The UDC file format is XML and you could use that schema to build an InfoPath form which you submit to the library ...
