Hi,
My question is related to creating forms within a SharePoint site. As an example a site member can add a document using a form created in InfoPath that gets saved back to the shared document workspace within the site. I have heard that there are other ways to create forms such as using the designer to create ASP.net forms. Is there other ways of creating forms within a SharePoint site? If you need anymore explanation of what I am trying to do please feel free to respond in this post or send me a message.
Thank you!
Here was the link to the CodePlex project from Mark Rackley I mentioned. It might not be the right fit for this concept but maybe in the future for you:
What is sounds like you need in the example given, Charles, is a template applied to the document library. The document library can actually use a Word or Excel document as a template as well. I’ll have to look and find some links, but I’ve got in my list of links somewhere instructions on how to do it.
Thanks for the reply. I have heard and briefly looked into the two 3rd party’s you have mentioned already but I think my organization (Mayo Clinic) would probably rather me go for a free tool. But I do appreciate the info. Our organization is in the process of moving to 2013 and I hope to be able to look into these Access Services I have heard of also. but I thought there was .aspx forms that can be created right in SharePoint Designer. And if I can explain briefly, I basically need a team site with a shared document workspace, when a user clicks on “Add Document”, they will be taken to a form where they can enter some information and then when they click “Save”, it will show the document created in the form back to the shared documents web part. Too confusing? hope not but any more info is always appreciated! I should also mention I would like to try and get away form InfoPath which is what we currently use.
Thanks again!
