Saving InfoPath Forms

Once you have completed the data entry on your form, you can save your InfoPath form with data by selecting File | Save. This creates an XML file that contains both the form and the data you have entered. You can then send the file to other users, import the data from your XML file into other systems, and so on.

Note

InfoPath forms can also be directly tied into a data source or back-end process, which would allow you to submit the information directly to the database or process. You’ll look at how to submit forms using these methods in Chapter 5.
