Question

Are there workarounds for manipulating InfoPath forms now that IP13 has been deprecated? Caveats: I cannot use SPD (limited [EDIT] END-user [for lack of a better term] SP deployment) and I now have a machine with MS Office 2016 (IP no longer offered as a stand-alone program). I have several IP forms that were created when I had a Office 2013 machine that need updating, etc. Is my only option to delete the IP forms and just use OOTB solutions? Thank you in advance for any help/info/answers.

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

Why not continue using IP? It's still available and even supported on Windows 10.

"Although Microsoft is not continuing development of InfoPath products, it will continue support of these products until 2023. For more information, see https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2014/01/31/update-on-infopath-and-sharepoint-forms/"

Microsoft is still adding documentation updates about InfoPath in DOCs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/support/infopath/infopath-forms-services

IP forms with code are not supported in SharePoint Online, and will generally not work with the Modern UI.

"Deprecated" has at least three definitions!

  • No longer supported, can't use, don't bother trying.
  • Please don't use in new projects, may be obsoleted in the future.
  • Still works just fine, we may be thinking about another option or limiting it in some way, but we won't be upgrading it any more (except maybe for security fixes).
