I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but here goes:
I'm creating a workflow that kicks off when a user submits an InfoPath form to a form library on a Sharepoint 2007 platform. The workflow should find the manager of the user that submitted the form from SQL and email that person for approval before the next step is run. Is this possible in Sharepoint 2007 or is using SQL in a workflow only a feature of Sharepoint 2010?
Thanks in advance

I am assigned a task to customize edit/new form of a list(Calendar list) by InfoPath 2010, then package these forms to a feature that can be deployed to many site.
I found a small number of article mention this case and nothing can help me, so are there anyone can help me?
Thanks
I get a weird error message when trying to create new Visual Studio 2010 project of type "SharePoint 2010 Sequential workflow":
"The SharePoint site at "somesite" is missing a target, task, or history list. Each of these lists is required to associate a workflow template. Please create a list and then launch this wizard."
I already have two projects in my Visual Studio 2010 solution: MyListsDef with many SharePoint custom lists defined and MySiteDef with site definition to populate those lists when new SharePoint site is created.
I have to create SharePoint workflow project for some of my lists in Visual Studio 2010.
I made some steps prior creation of third (SharePoint Sequential workflow) project in my solution:
Compile and package both MyListsDef and MySiteDef,
Install both MyListsDef.wsp and MySiteDef.wsp as solutions on my SharePoint 2010 server,
Create new SharePoint 2010 site based on MySiteDef template,
Create new Visual Studio 2010 project "SharePoint 2010 Sequential workflow" with reference to SharePoint site, created in step #3.
However, I always get the error "... is missing a target, task, or history list." every time I select a site, created in step #3, as a reference in a sequential workflow wizard in Visual Studio 2010 in step #4.
What does this error mean and what lists are missing?
What I am doing wrong?
What is a typical way to develop SharePoint workflows with custom lists?
Thanks in advance,

Sal,
This happens when required lists for workflows are not created.
Do the below to make it work :
ACTIVATE any feature thats relaetd to workflow (1st at SITE COLL level then at WEB level)
Go to the site and select a list
Click on WORKFLOW SETTINGS in the RIBBON
Then ADD A WORKFLOW and then select some workflow (ex: approval)
SAVE it
The above process will create required lists for workflow processing.
Now you can continue with Visual Studio work.
We have designed a custom workflow using Visio 2010. The workflow has been imported into a Sharepoint 2010 Server team site and is attached to a list. The workflow has three "start approval process" which uses the OOTB approval process . When I go to edit the workflow in Sharepoint 2010 Designer, I go through each step customizing it. Everything is working right up until I get to the second "start approval process" (the first "start approval process" allows me to see the entire structure and customize it to my liking). I click on the second one, it opens in another window with more properties, I select "Change the behavior of the overall task process" and there is no logic at all on this approval process, it is completely blank and only has an opening step (start typing or use the insert group in the ribbon).
When I take this same Visio 2010 and import it into a completely different Sharepoint 2010 Server, import it and try the same process, it works fine...I can modify all the approval process points.
I should state the difference between the two is that the one in which everything works, I'm importing and changing as a farm admin (test system). The other Sharepoint server in which it is not working, I definitely do not have full admin.
I'm willing to bet it is a permission issue, if it is, what permission should I grant and why is it working for one but not all?
Strangest thing, as soon as I completely closed Sharepoint Designer and re-opened it again, this issue did not occur!
Lesson learned, don't leave apps open on your desktop so long, Reggie!
I believe I have found a bug in Sharepoint 2010, and would like to submit this to the product development team.
I tried to use Microsoft Connect, but it seems that Sharepoint 2010 is not in the active list of products that are receiving Feedback.
Does this mean that the bug reporting stage for MOSS (Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server) 2010 is over? And it is no longer possible to submit product bugs?
Is there another channel of general public communication with the product team? I have an MSDN subscription if this helps.
No, it doesnt in directory.

There is an entry for Sharepoint Community under Business Software. And they are accepting bugs as well.
i want to display the SQL server data which is in table form into the SHarepoint.
I dont have sharepoint 2007/2010
I just have SHarepoint services 3.0 and sharepoint designer 2007
please help.
I think business data catalog cant be used in this version.
IS it true ?
do i have to go for paid version ?
You could use SharePoint designer to create a webpart that shows sql data. Look at the following article. YOu cannot use that data in another way (i.e. as a column in a list or something linke that, you need the BDC for that).
