Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003

InfoPath 2003 is an application that creates forms and shares data. 

Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 is a form creation program for seamless data integration with databases, Web services, XML, or any other XML-enabled system. Just drag and drop controls onto the InfoPath form?the result is a data entry form with advanced controls that conforms to Microsofts interface standards, complete with Microsoft Office 2003 toolbars.   

InfoPath 2003 does not have its own database. Instead, InfoPath 2003 supports interoperability with various data sources using standard protocols such as XML (schemas or XML data files), ADO (Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, etc.), and Web services. InfoPath 2003s support for Web services allows you to create forms based on XML data that can be retrieved and submitted using Web services, creating a rich client interface for Web services XML data.   InfoPath 2003 can also save the raw XML file to a local PC if there is a need to work offline. Under the hood, InfoPath 2003 totally relies on XML technologies, using XML files (with the .XSF extension) to store all the metadata about the form, XSD (XML schemas) and scripts for data validation, and XSLT to perform a view transformation on the XML data. (Note that DTD, XDR, and XForms are not supported.) The resulting view is HTML.
