Delete Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007
Microsoft InfoPath (full name Microsoft Office InfoPath) is an application used to develop XML-based data entry forms, first released as part of the Microsoft Office 2003 suite of programs in late 2003 and later released as part of Microsoft Office 2007. Initially given the codename XDocs, the main feature of InfoPath is its ability to author and view XML documents with support for custom-defined XML schemata. It can connect to external systems using XML Web services through MSXML and the SOAP Toolkit, and back-end and middle-tier systems can be configured to communicate by using Web services standards such as SOAP, UDDI, and WSDL. Additionally, because InfoPath documents are raw XML, it is possible to directly repurpose the data in other XML processors.
In InfoPath, the user can complete a form while off-line. InfoPath may check some fields on the form for validity, and the user can attach a digital signature. The user later connects to the server and submits the form (in XML form), which may be routed for approval. When the user connects to the server, the form template may be automatically updated.
As a member of Office products, InfoPath has a different usage scenario from the other applications, such as Word and Excel. To use InfoPath to fill in a form, a user must have a designer develop an InfoPath template first.
All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format, which is referred to as the "data source". InfoPath can also use other data sources, such as Microsoft SQL Server, XML or web services. These data sources are called "Secondary Data Sources" in InfoPath.
InfoPath provides several controls (e.g. Textbox, Radio Button, Checkbox, etc.) to present these data in data sources to end users. For data tables and secondary data sources, "Repeating Table" and other repeating controls are introduced. For each of these controls, actions (called "rules") can be bound in. A rule defines a specific action that will be performed under certain conditions. For example, a simple rule could be: "Set field 'Total' to 100 when number in field 'field1' changes".
More complex actions can be developed through "data validation". For each control, a data validation script can be bound to "On After Change" event. The script can be written using JScript or VBScript in InfoPath. In more advanced development, the whole InfoPath template can be exported to several files, and the script can be developed in C++ or other languages by using Visual Studio.
Application-specific changes of Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007:
* InfoPath designed forms can now be used from a browser, provided the server is running InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint 2007 or Office Forms Server.
* A form can be sent out to people via e-mail. Such forms can be filled out from Outlook 2007 itself.
* Automatic conversion of forms in Word and Excel to InfoPath forms. Forms can also be exported to Excel.
* Forms can be published to a network share or to SharePoint Server.
* Adding data validation, using validation formulae, and conditional formatting features without manually writing code.
* Print Layout view for designing forms in a view that mirror the printed layout. Such forms can be opened using Word as well.
* Ability to use Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office Access, or other databases as back-end data repository.
* Multiple views for the same forms, to expose different features to different class of users.
* Template Parts, used to group Office InfoPath controls for use later. Template parts retain its XML schema.
