MS InfoPath and genealogy

[Paul Blair]

G'day to everyone...

I've never really had time to play with InfoPath, the MS inclusion with
Office 2003/11.

With a couple of spare days, I had time to poke and prod a bit.

I used a Legacy database table as my data source - a couple of gotchas
in doing this, but I was able to devise a crude input form, and poke a
few sample individuals into the file in a quasi-XML sort of way... This
is *not* how it should be done, but the learning experience was good.

Anyone else out there in the MS woods?
