Hello Pedro,
thanks for your fast help. 
In the meanwhile I figured out a few things on my own. There seem to be a lot 
of updating problems and smaller bugs that make one's live really hard.

>without XHTML. Actually, this is what >OOo2.0 does : it includes XForms in its 
>XML. 

That's a good hint. So the correct formulation of my previous message would be 
I want to compare capabilities and ease of use of creating forms using (1) OO 
2.0 XForms support, (2) FormsPlayer (fill out forms) and XMLspy (create forms) 
XForms + XHTML support, (3) MS Word 2003 professional XML forms, (4) Infopath 
forms, (5) Adobe Acrobat XML forms.

That's true. I can save the file as odt and inside the content.xml is an Xforms 
part that holds the instance data. Nevertheless I was looking for a way to put 
it as a separate file on disk and it seems that the only thing I was missing up 
to now is the check box to "link instance" with the XML file. 
Hmm, the import still seems to have some problems as it is creating several 
unnamed elements with spaces or some control characters as data.

So most of the things are working now for me. There are only two unresolved 
issues at the moment.
- My calculated field "Gesamtkosten" that is summing all costs is always zero.
- I cannot dynamically create new "lines" in my form that adds a 
"Fahrtabschnitt" element into the instance and creates the respective GUI 
elements. Word is not able to do this as well (without using self-made macros), 
but Infopath can do that quite easily.

I attach the most recent form I have created in case anybody is interested.
Cheers,
Ren�
