    Lost VB project, need to republish

    A coworker asked me to modify a couple of dropdowns in a SharePoint-published InfoPath file. I used SharePoint Designer to open the template in design mode and made the changes, but when I went to quick publish the template, InfoPath prompted me that the Visual Basic project file could not be found. The project file is long gone--lost to a roached harddrive a couple of years ago--and can't be recovered. Can I publish anyways (click the Ignore button in the aforementioned prompt) and still have a working form for the users? Will whatever assembly is already on the server be preserved? If not, do I have any options? Thanks. Details: SharePoint Server 2010 InfoPath 2010 Visual Basic project

    Yup, just click Ignore and IP should use the compiled DLL that is in the form's source files. If you ever need to see what is in the code file, try a decompiler like IlSpy - that will let you recreate the code if needed.

    Thanks! That did the trick. I also learned that you can rename the extension from .xsn to .cab to easily access the source files.
