[ms office - 2007] InfoPath - Workflow - SharePoint Services 3.0

[RobFuller]

Hi People,

 

Just wanted to see if anyone had implemented any InfoPath Forms with workflow processing into a SharePoint services site?

 

I want to setup a form which on Submit emails to the next person in the workflow for approval, this looks very simple if you have Outlook configured but as allot of our users don't (yet) have this. The only way I could see was using SharePoint to control the workflow. Found some bit and pieces on the web but they are over completing things and as this the first form I want to start simple and grow later if this works.

 

If anyone has any experiences or pointers much welcomed!

 

TIA, Rob

This is getting frustrating; I can find lots of screenshots and documentation on the Microsoft about what I can do just nothing simple to get me started! I'm shocked no one has done anything similar before?

Yeah, you really need that if you want to play with Sharepoint properly. Stumping for a license will probably be a good idea, we're going to be doing the same here.

OK.. been making good progress and been having a good old play with sharepoint and the designer and various options. I've hit a little brick wall though.

 

I just need to assigned a task to someone, no problem can do that. They click a little tick box that they approve the application form. Excellent then on the next step of the workflow I just want to do a check to make sure that it has been approved before processing to the next person.

 

Problem is I'm not sure how I do a check on that assigned task not sure what variable to query!

 

Any ideas anyone...help!?
