Microsoft has announced in January that InfoPath is discontinued. It works as is, of course, but I would look at other solutions.<br />
<br />
For example, if you run Sharepoint 2013 and Access 2013, Access web apps would be a viable route:<br />

The company I work for shares data via documents and spreadsheets mainly in Sharepoint. &nbsp;I've never used Infopath but just looked at it. &nbsp;It looks like a pretty slick form developer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm trying to do an opinion poll and publish the results, but possibly not the original form which might be solely controlled by me.<br />

Would it be better to do this in Access or Infopath?<br />

Assistance in figuring out the best approach here is greatly appreciated.

MS Access Database or Infopath Results

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.
