Frequently Asked Questions

What is Microsoft InfoPath?

Microsoft 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 schemas. 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, since InfoPath documents are raw XML, it is possible to directly repurpose the data in other XML processors.

Version Installed in the PC Suites: MS InfoPath 2007
