    Info path or access app

    After the massive success of my last post on the subject I thought I'd be more specific.

    Its hard to see what I will need to achieve a user entry form before getting my hands on the product. I've been told that I will need info path to make a data entry form online that relates to the database?

    Is this true or could I use an access app on sharepoint?

    I'm looking to spend as little as possible whilst still getting what I need.

    Thanks.

    It seems by the posts here, you can use sharepoint or web entry (with some challenges)
    I prefer a shared folder on the network that can be set to specific users. (no problems)

    It has to be available online. The specifics of the data don't really matter yet as the requirements will change depending on what we are doing at the time.

    But all I need is any way to capture data from engineers online. just a simple form that will link to the database. It can be sharepoint/access/InfoPath.. anything. Its just difficult to understand what will work

    why MUST?
    a web connection VS a shared folder?
    they both allow users to connect, but the share has no limitation that the others do.

    We work all over the UK and I'm keen to minimise the process of getting the data in one place as soon as possible. people may be using mobiles/tablets/laptops to fill out forms. Its not a MUST if you could explain any advantages to another solution. It's just my belief that this is the correct solution (not that I know how to implement it).

    I'm open to suggestions.
