SharePoint 2010 InfoPath form web part

Learn what you can do with the SharePoint 2010 InfoPath form web part, and what steps are required to use it in SharePoint 2010 with an InfoPath 2010 form.

The InfoPath form web part in SharePoint 2010 allows you to embed InfoPath forms in SharePoint web pages.

The steps to using this SharePoint web part is to first create a browser-enabled InfoPath form template and publish it to SharePoint 2010.

If you want to connect the InfoPath form to other data, such as a SharePoint list, you must define parameters either before or when you are publishing the InfoPath form template to SharePoint.

Then you must add the InfoPath form web part to a SharePoint web page or wiki page.

And finally you can set up any web part connections to connect the InfoPath form to get data from other places in SharePoint or to send data to a particular destination in SharePoint 2010.

If you specified more than one parameter in InfoPath 2010 and want to create web part connections for them in SharePoint 2010, you must use SharePoint Designer 2010 to set up the web part connections.
