    How to convert form from database source to XML

    I've created a number of forms based on a medium complexity SQL datsbase schema and all work quite well. Unfortunately our enterprise blocks database ports so noone outside of the network can benefit from the forms. I would like to switch now to using xml datasources so each form can be viewed without needing access to a db connection.
    How do I accomplish this without having to start over again? I know that all the xml and xsd files are available by using 'Extract form files' but I still don't know how to use them to get back my form without starting over. I also have to mention that some of the forms already have useful data in them and I make extensive use of Master/Detail controls.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hi Martin,
    One solution is to install a Web service such as our Database Accelerator. You can download a free trial here:http://www.infopathdev.com/downloads/trials/default.aspx?i=4c6d41c47f594c9baada1b40918a306f

    Hi Martin,
    You can use the same schema and submit the forms to a Sharepoint or a Webservice like Database Accelerator.
    You can send us one of your solutions we can analyse it and send the informationback(Ofcourse we will charge some fee for that).
