Remarks

For every action and task included in the hwsWorkflow element, a button is enabled on the Workflow task pane; however, the button event must be scripted manually for each action and task.

InfoPath does not support multiple actions in a form and does not support HWS activity models (predefined sets of actions).

Note This item is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form defined by a form definition file (.xsf) that includes this item cannot be opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.
