Microsoft Office Forms Server

Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 converts InfoPath client forms into html/ajax forms that can be accessed and filled out using any browser, including mobile phone browsers. Forms Server 2007 also supports using a database or other data source as the back-end for the form. Additionally, it allows centralized deployment and management of forms. Forms Server 2007 hosted forms also support data validation and conditional formatting, as does their InfoPath counterpart. It also supports advanced controls like Repeating section and Repeating table. However, some InfoPath controls cannot be used if it has to be hosted on a Forms server.

Microsoft Office Forms Server is no longer available as an independent product. The features that this product offered still ship as a service with Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Enterprise Edition called InfoPath Forms Services.

Requirements

Microsoft Office Forms Server 2007 requires Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and the .NET Framework version 2.0.
