    Refreshing/updating data connections

    Hi everyone,

    I have an infopath form that I host through form services. It uses external data connections on my sharepoint server. I've been having problems accessing one of the data connections, so i've been troubleshooting by modifying the udcx file (data connection file) then reuploading it to sharepoint through the sharepoint interface. I noticed though, the web form is not picking up the changes. should it? or do I need to republish my form everytime I update the data connection file?

    for instance, I have a udcx file that has a simple select statement, select strName from myTable. it populates a dropdownlist on my form (and works just fine). if I download the udcx file, modify it (putting in an invalid table name for instance) then upload it into sharepoint and approve it - the form still works (?)

    anyone understand the process?

    Hi Ducati321

    Yes, I would expect it to pick up the change. Try removing the form from your local computer's Internet Explorer cache and see if that makes a difference. Start InfoPath, click all forms in the diaog, select your form and click Remove. Close InfoPath. Relaunch form.
