Abstract
While Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 offers out of the box connections to several types of data sources such as XML files, databases, SharePoint lists and web services, we can also use InfoPath to connect to web sites to retrieve or submit data. In this article we will create an RSS feed reader sample form in InfoPath to retrieve data from the Internet.
