InfoPath tracks the dates, revisions, additions, and so on made to electronic forms in an organization. InfoPath works in conjunction with SharePoint, Access, and BizTalk, so it is a key product of Microsoft's efforts to create a seamless, collaborative working environment. Pro InfoPath 2007 focuses specifically on the developer's needs when working with InfoPath. After a ground-up introduction of InfoPath fundamentals, the book quickly moves onto solving advanced problems with the new capabilities of InfoPath and InfoPath Forms Services. The book provides a wealth of useful information for.NET developers in a wide range of industries - such as medical, manufacturing, and publishing - who must create and work with electronic forms specific to their particular industry.
