Locked Schema Got You Down?

Looks like Jimmy ran into the same issue - you'll see that in a comment above. You may just want to manually add your new fields to your schema instead of trying to unlock it.

Hi Hilary,

thanks for the article, but I still can't get it to work. I have searched for kb 827006 and that returns no results on the MS site for me.

When I change the value in the manifest.xsf file to "full", InfoPath will not open the file any longer, giving me the oh so helpful message of: "InfoPath has encountered an error. The operation failed."

Any suggestions?

Search for ms kb 827006 to find the KB article.

I do not understand your other question - there are many reasons you may want to base a form off an existing schema - perhaps the schema was not from another InfoPath form. InfoPath is not the only application that uses XML. :-)

Both links in the beginning of article are broken.

In Infopath 2010, which file do I open for "chosing XML or Schema for the source" and why?

Why not just save a template under another name?

I found that when I tried this (the manifest hack) on a certain form, InfoPath prevented me from opening the template in design mode, giving the error "The operation failed." I was able to fix this by modifying the schema to remove any namespace declarations that weren't actually used in the schema, and reimporting the schema in a new form.

I'm afraid without additional information, I don't really know what to suggest. Which did you try? Changing the schema file? or modifying the manifest?

Hey Hilary,

Mine are still locked...

This is just for imported schemas -- since the schema for your secondary data source is related to the actual data source (thus, outside of your form), you'll want to leave that locked.

Ms Hilary,

Pardon my ignorance, but if I built a form that relies on secondary data, will this unlock that data so I can add additional columns to the padlocked data? Or is this just for importing schema.
