InfoPath Dev

I am trying to add a field to a document library via an InfoPath form template using the instructions in the article in the following URL:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/add-remove-or-modify-sharepoint-library-columns-or-site-columns-HA010103003.aspx

I am using the instructions in the "Specify document library columns when you publish a form template to an existing document library" section of the article.  Everything seems to work until I get to the dialog box that shows "the columns listed below will be available in Sharepoint sites...".  I click on the "Add" button and select "(None: create new column in this library)" in the "Site column group" dropdown.  After typing in the name of the field, I get the following message:

"Non-repeating groups are not supported as document library column names".  Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

 Should I be creating it in Sharepoint first and then update the template?

All I'm trying to do is add a field to a Sharepoint form library and add a field on the InfoPath form associated with this library so that the Sharepoint field can be updated.  Any ideas?

Hi - is this just a regular form? Not a SharePoint list form?

Hi Hilary - After opening a Sharepoint list item, the InfoPath form I'm trying to change is loaded.

Okay. So it sounds like the form is a SharePoint List form - the directions you link to are for publishing a regular form to a form library. I think you can just add a new column to your list and then when you edit your form it will be available to you.

Thanks, Hilary.  That worked!  Although I added another group and field to the InfoPath form and called it the same name as the form library field name except that there were no spaces; not sure how the form knows to save to this new field, but I believe that worked, too.
