Oh my goodness, what a blast from the past! Didn't you have to define forms using XML and XSLT? If I recall right, you had to host it either in SharePoint or InfoPath forms server.
Don't get me wrong, it was an amazing tool for its day, but had some steep and proprietary onramps that limited adoption. I'm personally not at all surprised that it faded from general consciousness.
- Borealid 3y agoYou (usually) built forms using the graphical form editor, and they could be packaged as an executable desktop application that emailed you results back. If you wanted them to be in a browser they had to be on SharePoint, of course, because it's the usual Microsoft lock-in thing. It was surprisingly good at letting non-computer-people build data gathering applications though.
