Has anyone had some experience with InfoPath? I read through the MS 'information', and it simply sounds like an alternate to a shared database that doesn't do as much.

' cos it's "next great thing (TM)" from Microsoft? To quote MS "You can use InfoPath forms to efficiently collect data from other people in your team or organization. After collecting the data you need, you can reuse it elsewhere, perhaps by integrating it into an existing business process or by using it in another software program. For example, the staff at a hospital registration desk might use an InfoPath form to collect data from incoming patients. That data can then be routed directly from the form to other places in the hospital and reused by doctors, nurses, and pharmacists."
