    updating a source file

    Hello Infopath gurus

    I have a problem with updating source files in an infopath template.

    The data is set up in an xml file and when I add it as an data connection I select " include data as a resource file "

    That all works fine but when I need to add information to the resource file I edit the original xml document and when I add it I cannot seem to overwrite the old resource file but instead infopath creates a new one each time.

    It make no difference if I try to add it as an new one and then change names because it will not let me.

    Do you know of any good way around this?

     Thank you

    InfoPath will always do this if you go through the data connection wizard to update a data source like the one you describe.

    The two options you have are:

    • Remove the unneded resource files afterward
    • Edit the form's source directly, making the necessary changes to the XML resource and its corresponding XSD file (this requires an understanding of XSD)
