InfoPath Dev

I am trying to use a template as a basis for another template.  Versioning continues to give me the template conflict message.  I have tried “save as”, going to properties and resetting the ID (it always defaults back to the original), and other less conventional things.  Short of importing the schema to a blank template and rebuilding the form, I don’t know what else to try.  Is there an easy answer I’m missing?

In the properties, give your form a new name prior to resetting the ID. It defaults to the original because you haven't changed the name, I think.

No luck.  I saved the template as a different name.  I close and reopen it, it does retain the different name, but it keeps the same end part of the template ID no matter what I do.

1. Original Form Template ID:  urn:schemas-microsoft-com-office:infopath:Knowledge-Check:-myXSD-2009.07.14T14-44-42

2. Changed Form Template ID:  urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:KnowledgeCheck-11022009:-myXSD-2009-07-14T14-44-42

I also tried starting with a fresh SharePoint Form Library.  I publish the template as shown in 2 above.  When I open, it gives me the template conflict message, showing 1 above.  I reopen the template that's from my computer, and it's the way I want it (2).

So for some reason, it changes the name in the properties back to the original when I publish it to SharePoint - maybe based on the ID? Grrrrr...

Still looking for help on this...

Hi SteveD, I faced the same problem and I found two solutions 1- Rename the Form Template and republish it. 2- Clear the InfoPath cache. Thanks, Mina Sadek
