    How do I unlock groups/fields?!

    Hello,

    I have a form and I can't unlock the groups so that I can add another field and then bind to a control.  I know I am supposed to be looking in the manifest but...I am not understanding I need to be looking for and what to change.  PLEASE HELP!

    Hi -- was the form created off a database? If so, you should be able to add a new field to the root of the main data source (the highest level folder in the data source). Otherwise, it may take some manual edits to the schema (not the manifest) to add fields. Can you attach your template to a reply? Under the Options tab, you can add a file...

    Oh ok.  No I think it was created off a standard template.  It was modified and it was saved and published to sharepoint.  We needed to do some more editing and needed to add more fields and realized they were locked.  It wasn't linked to a data source like Access, SQL Server, etc. I don't have it...my coworker does and is a little apprehensive about letting it go.  I am doing my best to explain...sorry!

    Well, this blog post may help you. Be sure to save a copy of your form first!
