    Migration to Sharepoint/Infopath - datasheet view edit/paste

    I am migrating an application from Lotus Notes to Sharepoint and Inforpath.  I have exported the needed data from Notes to an Excel sheet, created the Sharepoint site, and created and published the InfoPath form to a document library.  New submissions work fine.  My issue is with bringing over the data now sitting in an Excel sheet - I have a view in this doc lib called "Import", where the columns match the Excel sheet.  When i try to do a cut and paste from the sheet to the view now in "Edit in Datasheet mode", i get messages that cells are read-only.  This method has worked for migrating data that will sit in a Sharepoint List, but for some reason I can't do the same in the infopath doc lib.  Any ideas or suggestions on loading the migrated data?

    Once your data is in Excel you can use Qdabra's Excel to InfoPath migration tool to convert the data. Simply map the desired Excel columns into the desired InfoPath fields.

    Thanx!  It looks like we may purchase this as we have hundreds of apps to convert. The video demo didn't show how to get the converted xml docs into the DocLib in Sharepoint. Do you have a run down of that or will it be inlcuded with purchase/support?

    I have successfully run the tool and created my XML docs in a local folder - how do i move those xml docs to a doc library on my sharepoint site without error messages regarding the template which occured when i cut and paste the xml docs from local machine to sharepoint doc library.
