| Hello Peter,
| that there is no direct/official way to convert and that it has to be
done
| with XML-export i already wrote in starting this thread... But how? My
| problem are very many ready layouted reports, which has to be exported to
| infopath to fill out that inquiries manually. Especially the layout
should be
| shown like before.
|
| I hope there is someone out there who has a concrete solution which might
| show me the required steps.
