Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 Preliminary Medal: Gnicky URL: http://blog.9cbs.net/loconfuse/ Preface: Write InfoPath2003, I hope someone will be interested. Dear all the colleagues come and see, and the sisters of the buddies of the Microsoft's nose are patient and also see, if you want to detour.
Introduction: InfoPath appears in Office 2003, I first contact InfoPath, the update of these tool software is too fast! Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 is a new application that simplifies information acquisition, information use and information sharing through rich dynamic business forms. InfoPath can make a work group or company: more effectively and accurately collect information in the company. Sharing information between business processes (this I personally understand is that through common file form, the data saved by Excel / XML files is very versatile, providing data-compatible capabilities for corporate business) more flexible Manage information (diversified data format, autonomy of data release) Profit using existing IT resources (it should be said, there are many companies trying a lot in the road of IT, but the biggest problem is information islands, how It is very important to use these resources to use, I want infoPath, it is impossible to act as a heavy responsibility, but can be pulled in the middle of the intermediate.
Process: Process in InfoPath. Found InfoPath, it was the first time to install Office 2003, the first discovered Microsoft's product, simply browsing the description, related to XML, WebService therefore has an InfoPath. If you open InfoPath's tutorial, you will find that the content is very small, the tutorial uses Flash production, very beautiful, different from the past Office tutorial. Soon you can finish it, there is a feeling, Microsoft wants to express an idea, INFOPATH is very simple, very practical! Everyone should be familiar with the Office Series, you will understand the truth, Access, Power Point and other tool software, you can use very simple, the operation is very human, but as long as you want to work, use these "simple" Office software can also The data management system (Access) used to make small businesses can also produce a beautiful multimedia work (PPT). InfoPath is no exception, after all, they come from Microsoft's hand! Sighs Microsoft's monopoly capacity on the operating system office platform, including market, technology. Yesterday, I tried to fill in the form in the tutorial, design the form of two conventional contents. There are many ways to design, mostly the visual operation interface, for a simple training for general Office users, perhaps all forms commonly used in companies, and these forms also have data inspection, and these data can be configured Stored in the database. The form of filling in the form can be used to obtain a form on a public network resource and then fill in, or by being entered, saved by a form published as a web page. Let's take a look at how to use WebService as a data source. By designing a datagger, you will definitely be very happy, because the design is a simple tool, developer to deal with just data acquisition, display Give the field expert! · Establishing Web Service on my computer, providing access is the Authors table in the database PUBS on my computer, returning the entire DataSet dataset. On the computer installed in InfoPath2003, choose my computer in the same LAN, set the webservice of GetAuthors. (InfoPath seems to be not moving, it is estimated to have a problem with Web Service, some weird, today IP address Yes, you have to use the computer name, modify the IP address as the name, problem solving) InfoPath does not support the XML data file of the embedded architecture. To use an embedded architecture, you can create a separate XML architecture that contains only the embedded architecture information. The XML architecture can then be used as the data source of the new form template. This is the error prompt displayed by InfoPath, perhaps the complex structure of the DataSet does not support, modify the web service, return String. Table is not parallel, VIEW is not, so use String. In the new design form of InfoPath, select the data source, select the web service, then select Extract Data (Submit Data, Submit Extraction Mix), enter the URL of the web service (including data fields) (including data fields) To design the format of displaying data).
Because the webservice I have designed is returning a string, so the interface is simple, you can set your own complex format yourself. Reminder, in this case, the data binding is not found in this case, save it, then open, the picture below is the status result of opening the form:
Small practice: Finally, I want to say, if you are interested, you can do some simple attempts, such as using InfoPath to build a personal accounting program, you can pass through the BS method, the easiest way to pass the design form. , Form analysis and other files are directly accessed. Manage your own balance with a small program developed, tighten the wallet.
PS If I have time to make one, I will put it on the Internet - I found that when the SP2 firewall is opened, the Web Service that needs to be called cannot be discovered! ----- To remember, when you press Save, this form is saved after saving, and the submission must occur when entering data for the initial table template :)
