Open Infopath in browser instead of Infopath filler

Question

Our current environment is SharePoint standard edition. As per the research done, I find that to open infoPath in browser requires SharePoint Enterprise edition. Is this true? or is there any possibility to open form in browser to fill out.

Answer 1

Is this true?

Yes, it's correct, the Infopath service is only available with SharePoint Enterprise Edition, and can't be used in Standard edition. you can also check the Feature Comparison between Standard and Enterprise.

Is there any possibility to open it form in browser to fill out?

Unfortunately, No!.

What should you do?

Use default forms, or develop your forms in the visual web part or use other 3rd tools like formotus.
