LiveCycle Designer scenario

Hi All,

I have a PDF form that I want to create in LC Designer and distribute across our company. Unfortunately the enviroment I am in means sometimes getting things changed and past our security people is hard.

The form will have a submit button, and ultimately the data from the form really wants to go into a Access database where some reports can be generated. This could be hard getting I&T to allow ODBC connections. Could this also be done in excel?

I watched this video:

But I dont need to retrieve any data from the database - only submit. Also while I made the connection by following that example I could not manage to get the "Add" button to work.

Does anyone have any other tutorials around this subject?

Cheers

Reading more and more.

Its worth pointing out that I am on Windows XP. Office 2007 and that the users submitting the form are all on the same LAN.

From my reading so far to submit the form on different computers across the LAN they would all need the ODBC connection setup?
