InfoPath Dev

hello,

today i tryed one of the example forms included in infopath.
all the fields are protected?!?!? i`m not able to change the names of the fields. is there a way to unlock these fields/forms???? i also tryed to use these forms with my own managed-code behind, but this is also not possible ...... why??????

thx

Hi,

Which form and what message (if any) do you get? You are using InfoPath SP1 or SP2, right?

hello franck,

i meen the sample forms in infopath. i can`t tell you the name because i`m using the german infopath. but i have the problem with all forms. there is no way for me to modify a name of a field. there are also little lock-symbols on the images in the taskpane. i think the whole form is locked from microsoft???? i don`t know....

i`m using infopath sp1 .... because i didn`t know something about sp2 ;-) ... since now i will use sp2 *gg*

OK, SP2 won't solve this. The "locks" that you see is a Namespace issue because the schema was designed outside the InfoPath schema builder. Do you have the free Home version of XMLSpy on your machine (from Altova - great German company!)? Open your schema in XMLSpy, you should be able to modify names. But, be careful, if you change the name of a field used in UI logic, the name change won't be automatically reflected across the form.
