E-Forms using standard edition

Question

We have SharePoint 2010 Standard Edition license and we are covered in Enterprise Agreement but we are in need of E-Forms and put it on our portal using workflows also. I've heard info path services only available in Enterprise license.

Is there any way we can develop E-Forms and can use it in Standard Edition? Plz guide.

Thank You

The InfoPath forms services are only available with the enterprise edition. That means that you cannot use Info Path forms as server hosted and browser rendered solution. If you cannot upgrade your SP license you will have to go for custom ASP forms, which might be some more effort but therefore more flexible.
