Hi, Apologies if this is the wrong place for this question, but I'm sure there are some experts out there who might be able to point me in the right direction... :) I'm doing some work at the moment where remote teams can submit reports through to our database when connected over the internet to our server. However, I've been asked to look in the possibility of the teams completing the form offline, and uploading when they have access to a connection. It looks like I might be able offer something like Microsoft InfoPath forms (better recommendations?) to generate an XML file, and then use a PHP file to upload the file into the database. Additionally, I could also do with this process uploading a number of other files (e.g. images, text files) to the server. Does anyone have any experience in this area, and would be able to recommend a solution? Thanks in advance for your help... Kevin
